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

ActiveHired is expanding its remote specialist bench with a Online Quantum Information, Condensed Matter & Statistical Physics Scientist (PhD) — Remote Specialist at $100 - $200/hour. Contributors work asynchronously from home across major English-speaking countries, translating real-world workflows in Physics, Kramers-Wannier duality, quenched disorder averaging, square-lattice self-duality into high-signal training examples and multi-step evaluation criteria for enterprise AI models.

Primary Responsibilities

• 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.
• Engage in advanced numerical work, particularly around 4-state Potts model simulations and interpretation.
