Description du poste

Overview

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. Compared with other superconducting platforms, cat qubits offer the autonomous implementation of quantum error correction. We are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM, and we are growing fast after securing €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology. We are 100+ strong, including physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer?
