From C12 Quantum Electronics’s careers page.
Founded in 2020 and based in the heart of Paris, C12’s mission is to be at the center of one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of the century and change the course of history by building a universal quantum computer.
At C12, we believe that achieving a true breakthrough in quantum computing requires rethinking the fundamentals. That’s why our founders—deeply rooted in academic and engineering excellence—have chosen carbon nanotubes as the building blocks of our quantum processors. This ultra-pure material dramatically reduces error rates, boosts performance, and minimizes hardware overhead—key ingredients for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing. By crafting a unique approach that scales, we aim to revolutionize quantum computing just as silicon transformed classical computing.
Since our founding, we’ve raised over €25 million in funding, published 11 scientific papers, and secured 8 patents. Today, our fast-growing team of 80+, including 25 PhDs, has over 26 nationalities represented. We have our own cutting-edge lab spaces in Paris' historic Panthéon district, where scientists, engineers, and innovators work side-by-side to tackle some of the most exciting technical challenges of our time.
If you're passionate about shaping the future of quantum technology and want to make a real impact, C12 offers a unique environment to grow, learn, and innovate.
An optimal qubit calibration is a necessary condition for a good and operational quantum computer. Calibrating qubits is a highly non-trivial task which requires playing with lots of parameters at the same time and due to design variability, must be performed from scratch for every new chip. Thankfully, recent advancements in AI and Machine Learning overcome these difficulties and help accelerate qubit calibration and quantum hardware research.
As part of the AI for Quantum team at C12, you will design, develop and deploy qubit calibration algorithms. Your goal will be to use AI and ML tools to automate certain phases of qubit calibration and, by doing so, support our Qubit Control team.
