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're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!
As Senior Amplification Expert and part of the QECC (Qubit Environment Characterization & Control), you will oversee to the design, selection and optimization of the qubit readout chain used in our Quantum Processor Unit.
You will be in charge of : specifying, selecting, characterizing and improving the amplification chain used in our current chips and in our Lithium product. Study, prepare and develop the solution for future large chips (2027+)
Your expertise in Amplification systems will directly contribute to our culture of technical excellence and innovation, shaping the future of quantum computing. As part of the team you will help and support your colleagues focusing on characterization and instrumentation. You will also be the relay for amplification chain and readout with other teams inside A&B.
ABOUT THE ROLE AND TEAM As a Senior Quantum Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development and execution of experiments focused on silicon-based quantum computing systems. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an employee at a scale-up shaping the future of quantum computing. You would be part of the Quantum Hardware Team that specializes in designing, validating and operating quantum processors based on silicon industrial technology. More particularly, as part of the ERC CoG project QuDos, you would focus on developing ultra-low-power microwave qubit control and readout electronics for quantum computers. OUR TEAM Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times, and our technology breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. We’re backed by a team of top-tier investors, and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million. We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise.
