I've been working as a classical algorithm engineer for a few years now and I'm considering transitioning to quantum. How different is the work as a quantum algorithm engineer?
quantumgeek123 6 months ago next
The work as a quantum algorithm engineer is different but there are some similarities. You'll still be working on developing and optimizing algorithms, but the methods and tools will be different due to the unique properties of quantum systems.
