    1. Alice & Bob Demonstrates GPU Decoding for LDPC-Cat Codes via NVIDIA NVQLink

      Alice & Bob has demonstrated the GPU decoding of their LDPC-cat quantum error correction architecture using NVIDIA GPUs and the NVQLink system. This allows for microsecond-scale communication between quantum control systems and classical GPU supercomputers, enabling real-time error correction. The LDPC-cat architecture utilizes cat qubits and 2D LDPC codes to achieve low logical error rates for quantum computing.

    1. Alice & Bob Partners with CEA to Integrate Cat Qubit Software into HPC Infrastructure

      Alice & Bob is partnering with CEA to integrate its cat qubit software into High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments, aiming to develop hybrid supercomputing workflows and algorithms for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing by 2030. This collaboration will see Alice & Bob's software integrated into Eviden's Bull Qaptiva™ platform, leveraging CEA's expertise for hardware-agnostic execution across supercomputers and cloud-hosted quantum processors. They will also jointly research many-body quantum physics problems to apply cat qubit technology to materials science, chemistry, and industrial physics.

    1. Alice & Bob Joins €4.6M MSCA-Backed QuBriC Doctoral Network for Quantum Error Correction

      Alice & Bob has joined QuBriC, a €4.6 million MSCA Doctoral Network focused on Quantum Error Correction (QEC) for fault-tolerant quantum computing. This network unites 16 academic institutions and seven quantum enterprises to train 15 PhD candidates in QEC, bridging the gap between theoretical physics and classical error-correcting codes. Alice & Bob will contribute its cat-qubit architecture to help train researchers in co-designing physical QPUs with logical QEC layers, accelerating the deployment of fault-tolerant logical QPUs across Europe.

    1. Alice & Bob Proposes Decoupled AI Topologies to Resolve Microsecond Control Loop Latencies for Superconducting Cat Qubits

      Alice & Bob have proposed a decoupled AI topology to address latency issues in superconducting cat qubits for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Their architecture separates real-time error mitigation from asynchronous AI-driven optimization, allowing high-speed systems to leverage NVIDIA CUDA-Q and NVQLink without introducing catastrophic processing delays. This approach aims to combine high-performance accelerated supercomputing with ultra-fast superconducting qubit frameworks by stabilizing bosonic cat states through parallelized, background AI calibration loops.

    1. France Finalizes World-First Acquisition of Alice & Bob Cat-Qubit Quantum Computer Under HQI Initiative

      France, through its HQI initiative and France 2030 investment plan, has made the world’s first state acquisition of an 18-cat-qubit quantum computer from Alice & Bob. This system, to be deployed at the CEA’s TGCC facility and integrated with existing supercomputers, will provide a foundational infrastructure for European quantum research. Its cat-qubit architecture offers significant advantages in error correction, paving the way for future fault-tolerant quantum computing and open science research.

    1. Alice & Bob Secures NVentures Backing and Backs Expanded €1 Billion French Plan Quantique

      Alice & Bob secured investment from NVentures, expanding their Series B funding round after France’s increased investment in Plan Quantique. This accelerates their hardware development using cat-qubit architecture and integration with NVIDIA’s GPU supercomputing via CUDA-Q, positioning them as a key player in Europe’s quantum infrastructure. They are also one of five hardware developers selected to perform under the PROQCIMA procurement framework.

    1. Alice & Bob Completes Accelerated Hiring of 100 Employees Amid Global Tech Slowdown

      Alice & Bob has completed its ambitious recruitment drive, hiring over 100 employees in just seven months—reaching its target 30% faster than its original June 2026 schedule. This surge brings the Paris-based leader’s total headcount to 251, a milestone that contrasts with the broader global tech slowdown and a French labor market currently 30% below pre-pandemic benchmarks. The expansion specifically supports the development of Graphene, a 100-logical-qubit system powered by cat qubits that have demonstrated the potential to reduce hardware requirements by 200 times.

    1. Alice & Bob and Partners Awarded $3.9M ARPA-E Grant for Quantum Magnet Design

      Alice & Bob, in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory and GE Vernova, has been awarded a $3.9 million ARPA-E grant to develop rare-earth-free permanent magnets. This three-year project aims to utilize cat-qubit hardware and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to achieve a 10,000-fold speed-up in material simulation compared to current methods. By accurately modeling correlated electronic systems, the consortium seeks to find high-performance alternatives to neodymium magnets, which are subject to supply chain constraints. This effort supports the goal of enabling complex magnetic material calculations within a 24-hour window for industrial applications.

    1. Horizon Quantum and Alice & Bob Partner to Streamline Fault-Tolerant Software Development

      Horizon Quantum Computing and Alice & Bob have formed a strategic alliance to integrate Alice & Bob’s cat qubit emulators into Horizon’s Triple Alpha development environment. This partnership allows developers to test quantum error correction (QEC) protocols on a “virtual version” of Alice & Bob’s hardware, which claims to reduce physical qubit overhead by 200x. The collaboration comes as Horizon Quantum prepares for a Nasdaq listing via a merger with dMY Squared Technology Group, backed by a $110 million PIPE that includes participation from IonQ.
