Quantum Scientist
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, and we are growing fast after securing €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology.
Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future
About the role
The Performance Optimization team aims at using advanced ML & Optimization tools to improve the performance of Alice & Bob's quantum processors.
As a Quantum Scientist - Device Theory, your role will be to refine theoretical models of Alice & Bob's cat qubits, to contribute to the development of efficient numerical methods to study cat qubits dynamics, and to integrate these models and numerical methods in the firmware platform operating Alice & Bob's processors. Working with a multidisciplinary team of physicists and engineers, you will apply your theoretical knowledge of superconducting circuits to solve tangible challenges in quantum computing.
