Quantum Application Scientist

OverviewFounded in 2020 and based in the heart of Paris C12s mission is to be at the center of one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of the century and change the course of history by building a universal quantum computer.At C12 we believe that achieving a true breakthrough in quantum computing requires rethinking the fundamentals. Thats why our foundersdeeply rooted in academic and engineering excellencehave chosen carbon nanotubes as the building blocks of our quantum processors. This ultra-pure material dramatically reduces error rates boosts performance and minimizes hardware overheadkey ingredients for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. By crafting a unique approach that scales we aim to revolutionize quantum computing just as silicon transformed classical computing.Since our founding weve raised over 25 million in funding published 11 scientific papers and secured 8 patents. Today our fast-growing team of 60 including 20 PhDs has over 20 nationalities represented. We have our own cutting-edge lab spaces in Paris historic Panthéon district where scientists engineers and innovators work side-by-side to tackle some of the most exciting technical challenges of our time.If youre passionate about shaping the future of quantum technology and want to make a real impact C12 offers a unique environment to grow learn and innovate.Your role at C12 Quantum ElectronicsAs a quantum application scientist you will be responsible for research and development towards practical applications of quantum computing using C12s hardware in both near-term and fault-tolerant era. You will have the responsibility of assisting the making of industrial collaborations from the technical perspective giving technical support to the business team to ensure the feasibility and relevance of projects identify relevant quantum algorithms partners if required and to identify use cases for clients for which C12 holds a competitive advantage.Your tasks will includeDevelop impactful hybrid quantum algorithms and applications that promise commercial advantages in practice and scaleCollaborate with the software team to implement and develop optimized hybrid workflow of quantum algorithms for our quantum architectureCollaborate closely with our business team and industrial partners to explore the potential of quantum computing for specific industriesPartner with our clients and strategic partners to define and solve problems of real-world interest and to develop quantum algorithms tailored to their specific needsParticipate in scientific collaborations with academic and industrial partnersPresent research findings in technical discussions and journal publicationsAbout youYou have a PhD in computer science quantum computing mathematics engineering physics or related fields5 years of research and / or industry experience in developing hybrid end-to-end solutions for quantum computing applications would be appreciatedExperience in applying quantum algorithms to practical problems in areas like optimization simulation or machine learningPassion for tackling big challengesSelf-motivated and able to work independentlyYou are able to collaborate across diverse teams of expert engineers from various backgrounds (chemistry experimental physics mathematics engineering)You have a good command of English (oral and written)What we offerFlexible rhythm of remote workStock options for every employee (BSPCE / ESOP)Two incredible office spaces in the heart of Paris (both next to the famous Panthéon)Sponsored tripto conferences around the worldA highly dynamicinternational teamSwile meal vouchersBreakfastfor all every FridayMental health support withTraining budgets / Annual Learning & Development AllowanceSabbatical leave (after 2 years in the company)You should join us if...You want to contribute to achieving landmark results in quantum computing making a difference in the emerging quantum technologies.You want to work within a 60-people team with various backgrounds in nanofabrication quantum electronics and carbon nanotube science to create a revolutionary quantum computing processor.You want to thrive in an exceptional scientific environment with several industrial and academic partners.You share our values (excellence scientific integrity diversity curiosity and care) and want to help us define our product-focused cultureand ambition to accelerate.C12 encourages all who feel qualified to apply recruitment decisions are based solely on qualifications skills knowledge and from women are particularly welcomed.We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process such as reviewing applications analyzing resumes or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
