PhD - Quantum Error Correction Codes for Cat Qubits M/F

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 🐈‍⬛.

Alice & Bob is seeking a PhD researcher for its Error Correction team in Paris, working hybrid on codes for biased-noise cat qubits. The doctoral project, part of the QuBriC MSCA network, involves designing high-rate quantum error-correcting codes and logical-gate protocols with lifted-product and asymmetric-distance constructions, then validating them through hardware-in-the-loop simulations and small cat-qubit experiments. The degree is awarded by Sorbonne Université, with supervision by Christophe Vuillot and co-supervision by Mike Vasmer. Results feed an open code library and the company’s fault-tolerance roadmap.
