Job summary

Alice & Bob is seeking a Research Intern — Efficient Cat Qubit Simulation to develop scalable simulation methods for multi-mode cat-qubit systems in a quantum computing context. You will work closely with the Simulation Model team to combine tensor-network representations with stochastic trajectories and Lindblad master equations.

Reporting to a Device Theorist, you will validate methods, quantify computational costs, and communicate results to a multidisciplinary team.

Qualifications

• You are a Master’s or final-year engineering student with strong background in quantum physics and numerical methods.
• You are motivated by research at the interface of theory and computation and can drive a technical project with independence.
• You have good communication and collaboration skills within a multidisciplinary team.
• You have English proficiency and can work in an English-speaking research environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop simulation methods for many-mode cat-qubit systems.
• Verify numerical robustness of simulations (Hilbert-space truncation, solver stability).
• Extend efficient simulation methods to multi-mode systems.
• Extract reliable estimates of bit-flip probabilities from simulated trajectories.
• Document methods, code, and results for reuse by the team and present progress.
