The posting

About The Role and Team

We are delighted to announce our Quantum Theory Internship Programme for Summer 2027.

Work at the interface between research and industry with an internship at Quantum Motion. Our paid internships are targeted towards talented PhD-level researchers and Master’s students who would like to apply their research in an industry setting. Join us for a four-month programme over the summer of 2027!

Our Team

Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times, and our technology breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. We’re backed by a team of top-tier investors including Bosch Ventures, Porsche SE, Sony Innovation Fund, Oxford Sciences Innovations, INKEF Capital and Octopus Ventures, and we have so far raised over £62 million in equity and grant funding.

We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.

Our team of 100+ is based across London, Oxford, San Sebastián and Sydney, with our primary hub in Islington (London).

Functions of the Role

Interns will be embedded within the Quantum Theory team and will be assigned a supervisor to help guide progress.

You will contribute towards research and development within the following areas:

  • Applications and algorithms
  • Quantum error correction
  • Silicon device modelling
  • Fault-tolerant architectures

Projects will be tailored to your research interests and prior experience gained during your studies, but should align with at least one of the target areas. The internship programme also offers positions targeted at software development, with flexibility to work on a variety of projects across the main research areas. This is an exciting opportunity to help build towards a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer based upon semiconductor spin hardware.

When: Typically 3-4 months (minimum 2 months) starting around May to July 2027, with flexibility for the intern's availability and preferences.

Where: Interns are expected to be based in the UK during the program and should regularly visit our London office. Applications are accepted from across the world, with support provided for obtaining a visa if needed.

How do we apply?

As part of the application form, you’ll be prompted to select which of the four research areas you’d most like to work in. If you are interested in more than one area, please feel free to mention this in your cover letter.

  1. Please submit a CV, alongside details of 2 referees. Provide a cover letter to detail why you want to work with Quantum Motion as well as describing your research interests and how they align with the Quantum Theory team.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
