Job application by Ciro Santilli

I'm looking to do a meaningful job in a deeptech field, and quantum computing seems like it could become huge. I've learnt a few basics, and would like to go further with job experience in the area.

Just trying to do something innovative in deeptech, and quantum is looking exciting. I've visited your office/labs once. My wife has a job in Paris and I'm looking to relocate.

Why are you a good match for this role?

I like and know low level programming. I like and don't know (much) physics and I want to learn more. I like finding creative solutions to problems. I'm seriously interested in getting some experience in quantum computing as it could be really promising.

Why Pasqal?

I want to get into quantum computing in France, and there are only 5 major hardware companies and I'm applying to each of them when there's a job that seems that I can do. I don't know enough to pick the one with the tech that is most promising to win, though it seems no one can at this point. Being in Massy, a little further from central Paris, is a plus, I like quieter areas.

I am interested in getting into quantum computing because the this field seems like it could be promising. My wife is French and working for a French company in Paris and we are looking to relocate to the greater Paris region. I've heard good things from the company. I have only done basic undergrad physics in university but I'm very interested in learning more from a more concrete point of view, AMO seems really cool. I can handle low level programming well.

I've been watching quantum computing lightly from a distance, and I would be very excited to get involved and try to help, it seems like something really worth trying for humanity, my notes: cirosantilli.com/quantum-computing I'm very curious about learning more about the physics of quantum computers and error correction.

Python is my default scripting language and I've used it in all my enterprise jobs. Eg on open source here is a Linux kernel development setup I've automated with python github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat and here is a VCD parser I've adopted github.com/cirosantilli/vcdvcd

At ARM and AMD I've worked on various different parts of the hardware cycle, notably C++ emulation and low level software. I just get this strong feeling that hardware and low level software design should be the easiest thing for machines to automate, as it is the area that requires the least amount of "common sense" information about the world.

Just want to help achieve AGI and do some cool programming.
