Descriptif du poste

Alice&Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously!

We are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM. We are growing fast, securing 30 million USD of funding in 2022 to develop our unique technology. We are 100 and counting, between physicists, PhDs, engineers and experienced business professionals, all united in reaching our ambitious goal. If you are an explorer, craving to challenge yourself and make quantum computing come true, come and join us!

The Principal Research Scientist - Quantum Error Correction is a pivotal role in our organization, leading the design and development of our fault-tolerant architecture. Your work will directly contribute to shape the hardware roadmap of Alice&Bob. You will play a key role in bridging the gap between theoretical quantum error correction schemes and their real-world applications, thereby significantly impacting the future trajectory of our company's technological advancements.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the research and development of a fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on cat qubits (design and development at various levels including bosonic codes, concatenated codes, both quantum and classical components (e.g, decoders).
  • Develop fault-tolerant implementations for a universal set of gates for that architecture.
  • Analyse the performance of the architecture based on realistic error models developed with the Hardware Design & Analysis team.
  • Work in tandem with the Algorithms & Applications team to conduct resource estimations for specific applications.
  • Lead the design of application-specific architectures, tailoring quantum computing solutions to meet specific use-case requirements.
  • Requirements

  • Education: PhD in Quantum Error Correction (QEC)
  • Experience: 5+ years of research in the field or equivalent experience, Experience publishing academic papers as a lead author, Experience participating in top conferences in QEC
  • Skills: Expertise in fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures, Experience as a manager, Ability to elaborate product and technical roadmaps, Excellent communication skills
  • Benefits

  • 25-day vacation policy (as per French law) + RTT
  • Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law), or yearly allowance for the die-hard bicycle users
  • Competitive health benefits with Alan
  • Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped kitchen
  • Parental benefits with crèche support
  • Flexible remote policy, up to 25 % a month.
  • Research shows that women might feel hesitant to apply for this job if they don't match 100% of the job requirements listed. This list is a guide, and we'd love to receive your application even if you think you're only a partial match. We are looking to build teams that innovate, not just tick boxes on a job spec.

    You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer!

    We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
