Remote Quantum Information, Condensed Matter & Statistical Physics Scientist (PhD) — SMR Specialist Collective

Partner with SMR Talent Collective from anywhere in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, or Ireland as a remote Remote Quantum Information, Condensed Matter & Statistical Physics Scientist (PhD) — SMR Specialist Collective ($100 - $200/hour). This specialist role focuses on evaluating AI model outputs, authoring domain-specific rubrics, and validating technical workflows involving Physics, Kramers-Wannier duality, quenched disorder averaging, square-lattice self-duality.

Project Responsibilities

• Identify, discuss, and resolve technical challenges involving noncontractible loop defects and related topological features.
• Participate as a Solver, Auditor, or Adjudicator on specific project assignments based on your experience and subfield strengths.
• Demonstrated professional or academic background in Physics, Kramers-Wannier duality, quenched disorder averaging, square-lattice self-duality, domain-wall free energy, noncontractible loop defects.
• Strong analytical reasoning and ability to articulate complex concepts clearly in written English.
• High attention to detail when reviewing technical or domain-specific documentation.
• Analyze and provide expert insights into complex statistical physics phenomena, with a focus on replicated random-bond Ising/Ashkin-Teller models, the toric-code threshold, and the Nishimori line.
• Deliver clear, well-documented solutions or critiques of problems relating to Kramers-Wannier duality, quenched disorder averaging, square-lattice self-duality, and domain-wall free energy.

Required Expertise

• Demonstrated proficiency in numerical simulations involving the 4-state Potts model and analysis of domain-wall free energy.
• Working knowledge of topological quantum codes, particularly the toric code and its threshold phenomena.
