About PASQAL

PASQAL designs, develops and markets new quantum computers (QPU for Quantum Processor Unit) based on laser-cooled neutral atom technology. QPUs are machines featuring high-precision optical and laser technologies.

Joining PASQAL is an opportunity to contribute to the rapid development of a Deep-Tech startup at the forefront of the second quantum revolution.

You'll be involved in one of the biggest challenges ever, working with multidisciplinary teams and sharing our passion for shaping the technological landscape of the 21st century.

Job Description

As a Quantum algorithm developper, you will work among top scientists and developers in the quantum industry and tackle materials with digital quantum computers. You will also work with our full-stack quantum team in France, coordinating projects to run on the reality of quantum hardware.

Your missions and responsibilities will include:

• Use and develop state-of-the-art digital quantum algorithms to explore quantum materials that can be realized on PASQAL’s quantum processing unit (QPU).
• Deploy and execute large-scale classical numerical simulations on our cluster.
• Propose implementation and detection schemes tailored for neutral atom quantum processors.
• Simulate and study the inherent noise present in the device and suggest mitigation schemes.
• Work closely together with PASQAL’s Hardware teams to implement realistic proposals.
• Collaborate with PASQAL’s Software teams to develop and consolidate re-usable building blocks and protocols in topics such as error mitigation or tomography.
• Project topics include primarily algorithm R&D in the domains of simulating quantum materials with a digital quantum processing unit.
• Keep a regular technological watch.
• Support an inventive activity in the scientific and technical fields related to the Company’s research, products, technologies and markets; fill patents.
