Senior Quantum Error Correction Researcher Firmware Quantum Error Correction Paris Paris CDI 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 200+ and counting, between physicists, PhDs, engineers and experienced business professionals, all united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionizing technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together! About the role The Quantum Error Correction (QEC) team at Alice & Bob is tasked with continuously improving the fault-tolerant architecture by finding innovative ways to reduce the need for and cost of fault tolerance, and by helping implement the best solutions. You will also participate in the research and development of Alice & Bob's fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture. Get ready to join a passionate and focused team within an amazing organization dedicated to building a universal and fault-tolerant quantum computer without taking any detours. As a Senior Quantum Error Correction Researcher, you will participate in the research and development of Alice & Bob's fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture and help implement and deploy the best solutions for our quantum computer.
