Quantum Research Community Manager

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. Alice & Bob is building fault-tolerant quantum computers using superconducting cat qubits. As we transition from research to commercial deployment, our first systems are shipping to major HPC centers to empower the scientific community. Quantum Research Community Manager sits at the intersection of user relationship management, scientific engagement, and ecosystem development. Your primary goal is to drive the successful adoption of Alice & Bob hardware and facilitate impactful research outcomes. Success is directly measured by the volume of published research initiatives enabled through our systems.
