Quantum Experimentalist

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 80 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
As a quantum experimentalist at Alice & Bob, you will be at the frontline of our cutting-edge cat-qubit processors. Your role will be to control and characterize in-depth our quantum circuits. You will work together with our theory, microwave and nanofab teams to optimize existing designs and invent new ones. Your work will contribute directly to the roadmap of the company.
Responsibilities Measure, characterize in-depth, and fine tune quantum circuits and quantum gates.
Contribute to the improvement of the experimental setup and tools.

Contribute to the exactness of the numerical model of the QPU through in-depth analysis of the data, tracking for deviations.

Report on experimental results internally and externally

Requirements We are looking both for students finishing a master's degree in quantum mechanics, or PhD and postdocs having an experience in the field of superconducting quantum circuits.

We are looking for scientists with 3+ years of experience in the field of superconducting quantum circuits
Strong skills in microwave control and measurement of superconducting quantum circuits
Ability to perform in-depth analysis and comparison to theory or numerical simulations
Experience in circuit design and simulation
Experience in quantum gate design and benchmarking
Experience in quantum error correction protocols
Experience in Nanofabrication
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 has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have solid experience in 100% of these areas.

Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you are only a 75% match.

Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.
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.
