Job Summary
About Pasqal
PASQAL designs and develops Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and associated software tools.
Our innovative technology enables us to address use cases that are currently beyond the reach of the most powerful supercomputers; these cases can concern industrial application challenges as well as fundamental science needs.
In addition to the exceptional computing power they provide QPUs are highly energy efficient and will contribute to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the HPC industry.
Job Description
At Pasqal we design build operate and sell quantum processing units (QPU) based
on neutral atoms Pas HJ20. Fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) is a quantum
computing design space in which the existence of processing errors is acknowledged
and processors and computations are engineered to be robust against them Got24.
Compelling academic demonstrations of fault-tolerant calculations with neutral atoms
BL25 and resource estimation studies ZL25 combined with drastic improvements
and breakthroughs on the quantum algorithms side Gid25 put large scale useful neutral atoms quantum processors at reach of engineering.
Pasqal is currently designing its future processors for the decade to come with a clear intermediate megaquops milestone in 2029: QPUs performing 1 million quantum operations by the continuous operation of 10 000 atoms on a single machine.
Uniquely positioned at the interface between hardware quantum error correction
(QEC) and quantum algorithms you will help in the design of large-scale long-term
fault-tolerant quantum processing units. Your goal will be to compute and optimize the
concrete spacetime costs (qubit count and circuit depth) of fault-tolerant implementation of impactful quantum algorithms on future Pasqal machines. The exact mission
statement will be determined with the successful candidate prior signing the convention
with a clear and well-scoped internship objective.
As part of our progress on Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing we are recruiting an intern to reinforce our early FTQC team.
In this context your main missions will be:
- To familiarise with:
- Quantum error correction and full or partial fault-tolerance.
- State of the art quantum algorithms algorithmic subroutines and their logical costs.
- Neutral atom technology its peculiarities pros and cons in the context of fault tolerant implementation and the physical spacetime costs it entails.
- Resource estimation of physical costs for large quantum algorithms tailored to neutral atoms using bleeding-edge algorithmic improvements and adapting techniques from other qubits technology.
- Studying how physical costs of a given logical circuit evolve with the choice of QEC code logical gates strategies magic states creation strategies etc.
- Studying how physical costs of a given logical circuit evolve with the physical parameters of the hardware: gate fidelities gate duration size of zones and other constraints etc.
- Development and usage of tools to visualize and manipulate large encoded quantum programs.
- Compilation of logical circuits into physical sequences of atomic operations and optimize it.
- Contribute to the original design of Pasqal megaquops QPU handling 10 000 atoms.
About you
- Your are looking for your end of study internship.
- Knowledge in quantum information and quantum informatics.
- QEC experience from a previous internship or during studies projects in school and such is appreciated.
- Programming experience with object oriented programming language on high-level and low level programming (Python).
- Autonomous proactive thorough reporting skills.
- Solid communication skills in French and English will be expected on this role to work on this project.
