Join Us at the Forefront of Quantum Computing Innovation 🚀
Description of the Team/Project
The intern will join the single photon source fabrication team at Quandela, which carries R&D and production of InAs quantum dot based single photon sources for photonic quantum computing.
The intern will be in charge of operating and enhancing the lithography modules that deterministically select quantum dots for single photon source fabrications.
This internship will be mainly experimental with significant time spent in the laboratory, however up to 30% of internship time could consist in python code development and can be done from office.

Quandela builds full-stack photonic quantum computers in France, including on-premises MosaiQ hardware and cloud access to its processors. It uses semiconductor quantum-dot single-photon sources to create bright, indistinguishable photons that act as optical qubits, with Perceval, an open-source Python framework, for simulating and programming photonic circuits, and Prometheus, a standalone single-photon source for research labs. The company differentiates itself by offering end-to-end hardware, software, and services—from production in its own facilities to cloud access and an acceleration program that guides clients from use-case exploration to hardware delivery. Its goal is to help clients achieve practical quantum advantages across industries such as cybersecurity, energy, finance, logistics, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals.
