Description

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 65 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!

Role

During this internship you will be expected to learn and conduct the experimental calibration of cat-qubit stabilization and gates on a state of the art multi-cat chip. Your tasks will consist in:

Understanding the autonomous stabilization protocol of cat-qubits and its experimental limitations

Study the implementation of single and two cat-qubits gates for optimized fidelity

Implement automated calibration protocols

Support the experimental team in their daily work

Requirements

This internship is made for you if you are:

Currently studying for your first or second year of Master's degree in Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science

Interested and knowledgeable in Quantum mechanics, Quantum optics, and/or open Quantum systems

Proficient in Python

A team-player, with good communication skills

Icing on the cake if you:

Already have some experience working in a laboratory

Are Familiar with Git and GitHub

Benefits

Joining Alice & Bob, you can expect the following:

1 day-off a month for interns

Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law), or yearly allowance for the die-hard bicycle users

Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped kitchen

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.
