Job summary

Quandela, a leader in quantum computing, seeks a motivated intern to explore quantum algorithms for differential equations in fluid-flow contexts. You will collaborate with the AQEFLU project team and partners to prototype quantum and hybrid quantum–classical approaches, evaluate nonlinear handling, and test ideas on simulators or processors.

The position is based in Massy, with a possible remote option, and offers an intern allowance.

Qualifications

• Enrollment in an engineering school or university in France for an internship during a gap year or the second year of a Master’s programme (M2).
• Background in physics, applied mathematics, quantum information, computer science or a related field.
• Coursework or project experience in quantum computing.
• Knowledge of numerical simulation, fluid mechanics or lattice Boltzmann methods would be an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Review quantum algorithms for differential equations and assess their relevance to fluid dynamics.
• Participate in the development and implementation of quantum or hybrid quantum–classical algorithms.
• Investigate methods for handling nonlinearities, boundary conditions and initial-state preparation.
• Benchmark algorithms against classical reference solutions, assessing accuracy, resource requirements and scalability.
• Where feasible, test selected approaches on photonic quantum processors.
