Quantum CFD Intern: PDEs & Hybrid Algorithms (Belfort)

NEEXT; Belfort; Hybrid; EUR 19,000 - 23,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

SMIC-equivalent compensation

Job summary

NEEXT is seeking an engineering student or MSc candidate to join their scientific division as an internship. You will bridge NEEXT, Quobly, and ColibriTD to execute a CFD-related quantum computing use case, first on an emulator and then on quantum hardware.

Strong programming (Python/C++) and CFD knowledge are desired, with exposure to quantum frameworks such as Qiskit or PennyLane a plus. You will evaluate quantum vs classical PDE/CFD solutions, estimate quantum resource needs, and document

Qualifications

• Engineering student or Master’s degree candidate.
• Specialization in applied mathematics, physics, quantum computing, fluid mechanics, or numerical simulation.
• Strong programming skills (Python, C++, etc.).
• Knowledge of numerical analysis, PDE solving, and CFD.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical interface between NEEXT, Quobly, and ColibriTD to execute the identified use case.
• Implement the use case on ColibriTD’s quantum platform (emulator first, then quantum hardware).
• Compare results with classical CFD simulations (accuracy, convergence, computation time).
• Document work and present results to project partners.
