Alice & bob

Nanofabrication backend Internship

Aubervilliers Full Time
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're a diverse team of 140+ brilliant minds from over 20 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!

As part of the Quantum Hardware department, the “nanofabrication backend” team will play a pivotal role in operating and developing the “backend of line” used for manufacturing Alice&Bob Quantum Processor.

Technically, this encompasses: Room temperature electrical testing, Dicing, Optical inspection and Wirebonding of chips inside sample holders

About the role :

As an intern in the Nanofabrication Backend Team, you will contribute to bring into reality the Quantum Processor Unit (QPU) designs imagined by the company. During this 6-month internship, you’ll support the nanofabrication back-end team in daily lab activities. You’ll collaborate with engineers and researchers, learning how state-of-the-art quantum devices are designed, fabricated, and characterized.

A key focus of your internship will be the implementation of automated optical inspection on the circuits, to improve quality of the QPU.

This project covers the integration of a newly acquired automated microscope in the lab, the development of the automation recipes, the formalization of a classification of defects, and the work.

This internship starts in March 2026, for a duration of 5 months at least.
