Job summary

Alice & Bob SAS invites applications for a PhD project focused on codes and logic for biased-noise qubits, hosted in the Error Correction team and supervised by Dr. Christophe Vuillot.

You will develop high-rate QEC codes, validate them with simulations, and co-design logic gates for a next‑gen biased-noise quantum computer. The role is based in Paris with a hybrid work model, offering MSCA-dedicated training, collaboration with partner institutions, and opportunities to contribute to open

Qualifications

• MSc degree in Quantum Engineering or Physics completed by recruitment date.
• Demonstrated background in quantum information or quantum computing (thesis, coursework, or research visible on CV).
• Proficiency in Python.
• Proficiency in English (written and oral).
• MSCA eligibility – doctoral candidate: must not hold a doctoral degree at recruitment.
• MSCA eligibility – mobility: should not have resided in France >12 months in the last 36 months.
• Full-time availability for 36 months.

Responsibilities

• Develop and benchmark high-rate, biased-noise-adapted QEC codes and corresponding logical‑gate protocols.
• Co-design logical operations with noise bias, connectivity, and measurement constraints.
• Validate designs via hardware‑in‑the‑loop simulations and cat-qubit experiments.
• Benchmark biased-noise performance and decoder compatibility across the network.
• Contribute to an open online library of high-rate codes and logical protocols.
• Publish results in leading journals and present at international conferences.
• Follow the QuBriC doctoral training programme and related courses.
