⚙️ What These Internships Usually Involve

Quantum Algorithms Research: Design or analyze algorithms for quantum advantage (VQE, QAOA, quantum walks, etc.). Also working with simulators or small quantum hardware.

Software/SDK Development: Building tools that help users write, simulate, or compile quantum circuits. Integration, performance improvements.

Hardware and Device Physics: For labs that work on qubit technologies (superconducting, spinqubit, photonic, etc.), smallscale hardware experiments, cryogenics, control electronics, etc.

Simulation & Modeling: Running quantum simulations (on classical computers), errorcorrection, noise modeling.

OpenSource Contributions: Sometimes contributing to open quantum frameworks (e.g. Qiskit, Cirq, etc.).

Interdisciplinary / Theory Work: May include math, physics, computer science, sometimes crossdomain (chemistry, materials, etc.).

⚠️ What Organizations Look for

Strong background in math, physics, or CS. Courses/projects in quantum mechanics, linear algebra, etc.

Programming experience: Python is very common. Familiarity with quantum frameworks (IBM Q / Qiskit / Cirq / PennyLane / etc.) helps.

Research ability: Analytical skills, problem solving, sometimes existing work or coursework in quantum / algorithms.

Sometimes hardware experience if applying for deviceside internships.

Good academic record, sometimes ability to relocate or work remotely.

๐ŸŒ Other Places/Startups to Watch

From anecdotal sources (community threads and forums), these are frequently mentioned:

Alice & Bob (Paris / Boston) startup working on “cat qubits” architectures. They’ve been cited as having internships or job openings sometimes.

Wikipedia

IonQ, Rigetti, Quantinuum, etc. large quantum firms often offer internships in software, hardware, and algorithms. They may not always list internships publicly, but monitoring their careers pages helps. (Community reports suggest this)

Monitor QuantumFocused Startups They may have internship programs or smaller scale projects.

AcademicIndustry Collaborations Universities sometimes partner with companies for quantum research; staying engaged with your research group can help.

Build a Strong Profile Projects using simulators, small research writeups, contributions to opensource quantum software. Even personal or course projects help.

Remote / Virtual Options Many organizations now offer remote internships, or hybrid ones. Expands options.
