What to Know About Qiskit Jobs
IBM's free, open-source Python framework for writing quantum program; the most popular tool for learning and building quantum algorithms. This can run on real quantum computers.
Quantum computation is … nothing less than a distinctly new way of harnessing nature. David Deutsch, Quantum Computing Pioneer
What does a Qiskit developer do?
They write quantum programs using IBM's Qiskit framework, building algorithms for optimization, machine learning, or chemistry simulations. You will have the opportunity to design quantum circuits, run simulators to test quantum circuits, carry out experiments on actual IBM quantum computers, and fine-tune your code for better effectiveness on quantum computers with a lot of noise.
How much do Qiskit developers earn?
Entry-level Qiskit developers typically earn $85,000-115,000 a year in the US and EU. Experienced Qiskit specialists with project portfolios can make $120,000-160,000. Senior quantum software engineers with Qiskit expertise often command salaries of $150,000+ a year in tech hubs.
Do I need a PhD to get Qiskit jobs?
No! This is wrong! A lot of Qiskit developer positions will accept a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science or a related field, as well as in physics or math. For software-centered positions, strong Python programming abilities, a basic understanding of quantum theory, and a Qiskit portfolio on GitHub may outweigh the value of an educational background.
What skills do I need besides knowing Qiskit?
Knowing programming languages, including Qiskit, Cirq, and Q#, can result in a 10-15% salary increase. You must have advanced Python programming skills, a basic understanding of quantum mechanics, and an ability to apply VQE or QAOA quantum algorithms implemented in Qiskit.
Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical. Richard Feynman, Physicist
Where can I learn Qiskit for free?
IBM offers free Qiskit tutorials and textbooks at qiskit.org; YouTube has hundreds of Qiskit coding tutorials and IBM's Quantum Learning platform provides hands-on exercises. You can practice on real IBM quantum computers for free through IBM Quantum Experience, no expensive equipment needed.
Which companies hire Qiskit developers?
As IBM created Qiskit, IBM is the main employer, though many quantum startups, as well as financial institutions, pharmaceuticals, and tech companies, hire Qiskit specialists. For those interested in research, academic roles are also available in universities and research institutes that utilize Qiskit in their research. You can find job at Quantum Jobs.
