United States onlyAlice & 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're a diverse team of 200+ brilliant minds from over 30 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!
As a Quantum Algorithms Scientist, you will define the path to real-world applications for fault-tolerant quantum computing. You will work with our scientific partners to develop applications solvable with a few hundred logical qubits.
Responsibilities:
- Develop novel quantum algorithms
- Optimize the implementation of quantum algorithms to our architecture, and challenge it
- Work on the first unchallenged quantum advantage (as soon as Alice & Bob's hardware becomes available)
- Contribute to scientific collaborations with both academic institutions and industry partners
- Stay up-to-date with the scientific literature for quantum algorithms in quantum simulation
Requirements:
- A PhD or 3+ years research experience in quantum algorithms
- Experience with Fault-tolerance
- Successful track-record of driving research initiatives and solid publication portfolio
- Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken
- Nice to have:
- Experience in quantum simulation, ideally condensed matter physics
- Expertise in low-level subroutines for quantum simulation
- Understanding of fault-tolerant compilation and/or error correction
- Experience with software design and best practices
Benefits:
- Our success is your success : own it with our BSPCE plan
- Turn your ideas into patents – and (competitive) patent bonuses
- Healthcare: (Health, vision, dental insurance)
- 401k - Retirement plan
- Training budget for each employee
- Parental leave & parental plan
- PTO: 20 days + 11 federal days
- Unlimited unpaid jury duty + time to protest or vote
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.
