Quantum Error Mitigation Scientist — Photonic FTQC

Quandela; Paris; Sur place; EUR 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Quandela in Paris is seeking a Quantum Information Scientist to join the Quantum Information team within Architecture, working at the interface between quantum information theory, architecture performance and fault‑tolerant quantum computing.

You will develop and assess mitigation methods (QEM) for photonic and spin‑photonics architectures, evaluate their feasibility and cost, and collaborate with FTQC, Device Physics and Q.Algorithms teams to understand trade‑offs and fidelity gains.

Qualifications

• PhD in Quantum Information, Quantum Computing, Theoretical Physics or a closely related field.
• Research experience in Quantum Error Mitigation, through development, analysis or application of mitigation methods.
• Good understanding of noisy quantum systems and how errors affect quantum computations.
• Ability to critically assess scientific literature and adapt existing methods to new systems or architectures.
• Experience with scientific programming and numerical simulation, typically in Python.
• Scientific autonomy.
• Collaborative and personable, with the ability to communicate ideas clearly to people from other fields of expertise.
• Professional English.

Responsabilités

• Develop and adapt QEM methods for photonic and spin‑photonics architectures.
• Evaluate their performance, feasibility and implementation cost.
• Study how mitigation and Quantum Error Correction can complement each other across different operating regimes.
• Use realistic noise models and hardware constraints to assess their impact on computational fidelity and achievable circuit depth.
• Build scientific prototypes and numerical tools to test and compare different approaches.
• Work closely with FTQC and Device Physics researchers on noise, errors and architecture‑level trade‑offs.
• Contribute to benchmarking and broader performance‑analysis activities within the team.
• As methods mature, collaborate with Q.Algorithms and Software teams on application‑level studies and implementation.
