Job description

Les missions du poste

Le CEA est un acteur majeur de la recherche, au service des citoyens, de l'économie et de l'Etat.

Il apporte des solutions concrètes à leurs besoins dans quatre domaines principaux : transition énergétique, transition numérique, technologies pour la médecine du futur, défense et sécurité sur un socle de recherche fondamentale. Le CEA s'engage depuis plus de 75 ans au service de la souveraineté scientifique, technologique et industrielle de la France et de l'Europe pour un présent et un avenir mieux maîtrisés et plus sûrs.

Implanté au coeur des territoires équipés de très grandes infrastructures de recherche, le CEA dispose d'un large éventail de partenaires académiques et industriels en France, en Europe et à l'international.

Les 20 000 collaboratrices et collaborateurs du CEA partagent trois valeurs fondamentales :

  • La conscience des responsabilités
  • La coopération
  • La curiosité

As an intern at the CEA, you will have the opportunity to work within a world-renowned research environment. Our teams are composed of passionate and dedicated experts, offering a conducive framework for learning and collaboration. You will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and top-tier research resources to carry out your missions.

Context :

Within the Laboratory for System Integration and Technologies at CEA Grenoble, you will join a research team specializing in quantum technologies. You will be tasked with working on an innovative project related to the preparation of a PhD thesis on superconducting electronics for quantum computing.

What do we expect from you?

During this internship, you will be tasked with the following missions:

  • Technological Review: Conduct a state-of-the-art review of superconducting electronics technologies (SFQ, AQFP, eSFQ, etc.), analyzing their specificities, performances, and potential for quantum computing applications.
  • Functional Analysis: Identify and evaluate the key functions of the hardware stack of QPUs (spin qubits and superconducting qubits) for which SFQ blocks or other superconducting technologies could provide innovative solutions, particularly in terms of performance, energy consumption, and cryogenic integration.
  • Circuit Design and Validation:
    • Implement state-of-the-art superconducting circuits in the JoSim simulation environment.
    • Participate in setting up a complete design flow: schematic capture, layout, parasitic extraction, and results analysis.
    • Validate performance hypotheses and highlight these results in the context of quantum computing.
  • Architectural Perspectives : Contribute to the identification of different architectural approaches and key technological building blocks to address the challenges of scaling QPUs.

This internship does not require expertise in superconductivity at the start of the mission: you will be supported to build competencies in these technologies and tools.

This internship is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a cutting-edge field, working on critical challenges for the scaling of fault-tolerant quantum computing. You will be supervised by experts and have access to advanced simulation tools to explore innovative solutions.

Depending on your school's requirements, the subjects can be discussed.

Le profil recherché

We are looking for a candidate with an engineering degree in physics, electronics, or microelectronics, or a master's degree in applied physics, quantum electronics, or nanotechnologies. Prior experience in circuit design (analog, digital, or RF) will be a major asset.

Desired Technical Skills :

  • Experience in data processing and numerical analysis (Python, MATLAB, or similar tools).
  • Strong foundation in applied mathematics (signal processing, physical modeling), with knowledge of quantum computing being appreciated.
  • Familiarity with circuit simulation tools (SPICE, LTspice, Cadence, or equivalents).
  • Knowledge of hardware description languages (HDL: Verilog, VHDL) for modeling digital systems.
  • Having studied superconductivity and/or the Josephson effect is a plus.
  • Prior experience in a cryogenic environment (low-temperature handling, device characterization) would be a true asset.

Personal Qualities :

  • Scientific curiosity and a taste for applied research.
  • Autonomy and the ability to synthesize complex information (literature review, state-of-the-art analysis).
  • Initiative to propose innovative solutions in an emerging field.
  • Rigor and organizational skills to manage a project at the interface between theory and experimentation.

This internship is aimed at candidates who are motivated by the technological challenges of quantum computing and wish to invest in a high-potential project, with the possibility of pursuing a PhD.
