We are looking for an intern to join our Quantum Machine Learning team for 6 months (end-of-study internship). You will be embedded in the Algorithm Team actively exploring and optimising quantum algorithms, as well having the opportunity to work with our cutting edge quantum hardware. This position is for IQM's Paris office.

What will I be doing?

• You will be working on a project aiming at finding new algorithms for detecting anomalous behaviour in industry provided datasets, a relevant problem for cybersecurity use cases.
• You will be analysing the performance of these algorithms on IQM quantum hardware.
• You will be applying error mitigation techniques and explore noise robustness of these algorithms.

What skills do I need?

Required Skills:

• Bachelor degree in theoretical physics, computer science, mathematics or similar field or engineering schools.  
• Knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum computing (e.g. in the context of ongoing master studies).
• Experience in developing code (Python and quantum software libraries, as well as code management tools e.g. Git, Github/Gitlab).

Nice-to-have Skills:

• Experience in running quantum algorithms on quantum hardware.
• Knowledge of classical algorithms for machine learning (e.g. Kernel-based methods, Boltzmann machines).

Soft Skills:

• You feel comfortable in a team-oriented collaborative environment.
• You keep your skills and knowledge fresh and are always eager to learn more.

What can I expect from IQM?

• An opportunity to work with a passionate and diverse team on an important mission
• A unique opportunity to make a real impact on the future of quantum
• A chance to develop your skills at the forefront of quantum computing and algorithmic development.
