Internship - Device Theory: Error mitigation

Summary

Join Quandela, a global leader in quantum computing, and contribute to the forefront of quantum innovation. This internship focuses on investigating and integrating error mitigation techniques into Quandela's photonic QPU programming framework, Perceval. You will test and compare these techniques on Quandela's hardware. The ideal candidate possesses a strong understanding of Python, data analysis, optimization, and troubleshooting. Strong communication skills are essential. This internship offers a competitive allowance, transportation cost participation, remote work possibilities, and paid time off.

Requirements

• You are pursuing a Master's degree in Physics, Computer Science, Data Science, or related
• This position is only valid with an Internship Agreement
• A solid understanding and practical experience in Python
• Strong communication skills (english is required)
• To have a critical thinking, being able to analyze problems, evaluate data and make decisions
• Proficiency in data analysis
• Optimization: you should be skilled in improving algorithms or systems for better performance and efficiency
• Troubleshooting: The should have the ability to quickly identify and resolve issues, such as bugs or performance bottlenecks

Responsibilities

• Investigate and evaluate error mitigation techniques compatible with Quandela's current QPU architecture
• Integrate multiple error mitigation techniques into a single post-processing workflow compatible with Quandela's Perceval framework for programming photonic QPUs
• Test and compare error mitigation workflows on Quandela's hardware

Preferred Qualifications
