Principal Research Scientist - Boston, MA, United States - Alice & Bob

Description

Alice&Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world's hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously

We are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM. We are growing fast, securing 30 million USD of funding in 2022 to develop our unique technology. We are 80 and counting, between physicists, PhDs, engineers and experienced business professionals, all united in reaching our ambitious goal. If you are an explorer, craving to challenge yourself and make quantum computing come true, come and join us

As a Principal Research Scientist - Quantum Algorithms, your mission will be to lead the Quantum Algorithms & Applications team. This team works with Alice&Bob's clients and strategic partners to develop quantum algorithms tailored to their problems, and to optimise their fault-tolerant implementations on Alice&Bob architecture in collaboration with the Quantum Architecture team.

• Lead research activities on quantum computing applications,
• Manage the technical collaborations with Alice&Bob clients on their use cases,
• Conduct in-depth adaptation/optimisation of quantum algorithms for dedicated use cases and perform resource estimations,
• Develop the applications roadmap of Alice&Bob quantum processors.

• PhD in Quantum Algorithms or a closely related field (Quantum Computing, Computer Science)
• Experience: 5+ years of research in the Quantum Algorithms or equivalent experience, Experience publishing academic papers as a lead author
• Experience participating in top conferences in Quantum Algorithms
• Skills: Expertise in quantum computing, quantum algorithms, quantum applications, Demonstrated research track record in Quantum Computing, Experience as a manager, Excellent communication skills

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
• Stock Option Plan

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have solid experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.

You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer

We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
