Job 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, 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

Our EDA Research team in Paris 🥖 is seeking an intern who's eager to help the experimentalists improve our cat qubits. 🐈‍⬛

If you're constantly focused on creating stability and improving process reliability, this is the role for you!

As a Superconducting Circuit intern, you’ll play a critical role in bridging the gap between theory and experiment by understanding its cause and implementing it into the simulation such that you turn the raw measurement data into actionable information. Your work will directly impact and deepen our understanding of superconducting cat qubits — a key building block in our pursuit of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC).

Responsibilities

  • Understand the discrepancy between the simulation results and experimental measurements of the loss rates of superconducting quantum circuits.
  • Enhance the accuracy of the simulation results to support large-scale quantum chip architectures.

    • Requirements

  • You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor or Master's degree in Engineering or Physics.
  • Available for a 4-6 month internship (ideally from February 2026)
  • Experience with python programming
  • Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken

    • Nice to Have

  • Basic knowledge of Circuit and Network theory
  • Prior knowledge of electromagnetic fields

    • Benefits

  • 1 day off per month
  • Meal Vouchers with Swile
  • 50% Navigo reimbursement

    • Recruitment Process

  • Hiring Manager Interview with Yuki (45 min)
  • Technical Interview/Presentation with the Team (60 min)
  • Fit Interview (45 min)
  • Reference Check

    • Research shows that women might feel hesitant to apply for this job if they don't match 100% of the job requirements listed. This list is a guide, and we'd love to receive your application even if you think you're only a partial match. We are looking to build teams that innovate, not just tick boxes on a job spec.

    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.
