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, and we are growing fast after securing €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology.
Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future!
Building fault-tolerant quantum computers demands accurate physical models and reliable calibrations. In this internship, you will develop advanced quantized models of superconducting circuits, incorporating previously overlooked elements that significantly impact device measurements. You will validate these theoretical models experimentally using superconducting circuits built at Alice & Bob. Guided by both theoretical and experimental researchers, you will gain exposure to a wide range of physics research within the company and contribute directly to ongoing R&D efforts.
