Quantum Scientist - Device Theory

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. 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.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience with quantum device theory and simulation, preferably in the field of superconducting quantum circuits.
• Proven experience with specific qubit modalities (e.g., superconducting circuits, trapped ions, semiconductor qubits, topological qubits).
• A Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a strong focus on quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, quantum information, or quantum optics.
• Expertise in numerical simulation techniques (e.g., finite element methods, master equation approaches).
• Proficiency in programming languages commonly used for scientific computing and simulation, such as Python (with libraries like NumPy, SciPy, QuTiP), MATLAB, or C++.
• First-hand experience with Ansys EDT or similar is an asset.
• Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken.
