Mid-Senior Device Theorist

As a Mid-Senior Device Theorist, your mission will be to contribute to the development of the internal simulation tool suite used to design and analyse the performance of our quantum processors.

This includes leading cutting-edge research projects on advanced numerical methods for simulating noisy quantum systems, following the state-of-the-art in this domain and adapting these methods to the bosonic processors of Alice&Bob. An important part of the role will be to integrate these methods into the in-house software ecosystem to ensure all of the R&D teams benefit from these methods.

Responsibilities

• Lead research activities related to efficient numerical methods for the simulation of near-term bosonic processors
• Manage the development and the integration of these tools into Alice&Bob software ecosystem
• Work in close collaboration with Experimentalists and Microwave Engineers to validate simulations with experimental data

Requirements

• PhD in Quantum Computing, Quantum Physics, or Computational Physics applied to quantum systems
• 2+ years of research in simulation of quantum systems or equivalent experience, experience publishing academic papers as a lead author, experience participating in top conferences in the field
• Proven research track record in advanced numerical simulations of quantum systems
• Expertise in state-of-the-art classical methods for simulating noisy quantum systems (Tensor Networks, etc.)
• Experience in turning state-of-the-art research into well-packaged software products for use in R&D environments
• Strong experience with software design and best practices
• Expertise in cQED, bosonic qubits, quantum error correction, quantum algorithms will be highly valued
• English working proficiency

Benefits

• 25-day vacation policy (as per French law) + RTT
• Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law), or yearly allowance for the die-hard bicycle users
• Competitive health benefits with Helium/AXA
• Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped kitchen
• Parental benefits with crèche support
• Flexible remote policy, up to 40% a month.
• Mental health support with moka.care
• Subsidized membership with Urban Sports Club
