Our ambition is to build large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Within Scalable Architecture, we model the physical systems behind our technologies to understand their limitations and guide future designs.
You will join our Device Physics team, which develops theoretical and numerical models of Quandela’s physical systems in close interaction with experimental teams.
You will focus on quantum dots and their phononic environment, modelling how phonon-induced noise affects our semiconductor photon sources.
Your work will range from calculating phonon spectral densities to integrating these effects into existing source models. The scientific problem and possible approaches are already identified, giving you a strong foundation from which to progressively take ownership of the topic.

As a Quantum Information Scientist working on Quantum Dot Modelling, you will:
-
During your first months: Become familiar with Quandela’s quantum-dot systems and develop your first phonon simulations with support from Device Physics and experimental teams.
Within 6–12 months: integrate and validate your work within our wider modelling framework and take increasing ownership of the topic.
Longer term: Explore optimisation strategies, additional physical effects and new research directions around semiconductor quantum systems.
Requirements
We are looking for a scientist combining strong physical understanding with hands-on numerical modelling experience, ideally in semiconductor, condensed-matter or computational physics.
Direct quantum-computing experience is not required. What matters is your ability to translate a physical problem into a credible numerical model and critically assess its results.
Must-have:
Important, but you can grow here:
Bonus:
We are open to strong Master’s-level profiles with substantial hands-on research experience in numerical modelling. You do not need expertise across every layer of the problem.
Benefits
Join a research team where theoretical and numerical work directly feeds into experiments and hardware development.
Plus:
Process
The scientific discussions are intended to understand how you approach a physical modelling problem, choose appropriate numerical methods, assess assumptions and connect simulation results with a real physical system.
Beyond that:
If you enjoy using numerical modelling to understand real physical systems and seeing that work feed into experiments, this role offers the opportunity to deepen your expertise in semiconductor quantum systems while progressively taking ownership of the topic.
