Cat Qubits

The job is focused on pioneering quantum processor units based on Schrödinger cat qubits.

Superconducting Circuits

The quantum computer platform relies on superconducting qubits, including the Cat Qubit variant.

Fault-tolerant

The primary mission of the company is developing a universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer.

Chip design

The role is explicitly titled "Chip Design Project Manager" and involves coordinating chip design activities.

Cryogenic & vacuum

The project manager coordinates "cryostats integration" and assembly of devices in the fridge.

Microwave & RF

Experience with RF is highly desirable for controlling and operating the superconducting quantum hardware.

Device modelling

The manager coordinates activities related to simulation, which implies device modelling of the quantum chip.

Source Job 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, 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!
