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.

Cat-qubit hardware developer Alice & Bob has joined QuBriC (Bridging Quantum and Classical Error Correction for Scalable Fault-tolerant Quantum Computing), Europe's first Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network dedicated entirely to Quantum Error Correction (QEC). Funded via a €4.6 million ($5.0 million) grant over 48 months under Horizon Europe, the consortium unites 16 academic institutions and seven quantum enterprises to train 15 PhD candidates across the complete QEC stack—combining classical coding theory, quantum information science, and hardware control engineering.

Bosonic hardware developer Alice & Bob has published a computer architecture blueprint authored by senior architect Kevin D. Kissell detailing a new "decoupled" processing methodology for runtime artificial intelligence (AI) inside fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) stacks. The proposal addresses a fundamental computing obstacle: while machine learning and quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (qLDPC) decoding algorithms improve error mitigation, their classical computational overhead violates the strict, low-latency execution budgets required by high-speed superconducting hardware. By separating deterministic, real-time error-mitigation mechanisms from longer-term asynchronous "policy" optimization routines, the architectural framework allows high-speed systems to leverage NVIDIA CUDA-Q and NVIDIA NVQLink topologies without introducing catastrophic processing [...]

At the VivaTech 2026 conference, France's national high-performance computing agency, GENCI (Grand Équipement National de Calcul Intensif), and French hardware developer Alice & Bob signed a historic public procurement contract for the acquisition of an 18-cat-qubit quantum computer. Funded entirely by the HQI (France Hybrid HPC Quantum Initiative) under the comprehensive France 2030 investment plan, the transaction marks the world's first formal state acquisition of a quantum system utilizing error-biased cat-qubit technology. The machine will serve as a foundational sovereign infrastructure asset to insulate European strategic autonomy and elevate regional deep-tech scientific competitiveness.

Alice & Bob has secured a strategic venture capital investment from NVentures, the private equity arm of NVIDIA Corporation, expanding its existing €100 million ($116 million USD) Series B funding round. The investment follows a public policy milestone where French President Emmanuel Macron announced an additional €1 billion ($1.16 billion USD) allocation to the state's sovereign quantum strategy, Plan Quantique, alongside €550 million ($638.165 million USD) for microelectronics manufacturing. The financial injection accelerates Alice & Bob's dual-track deployment strategy: expanding its hardware-stabilized superconducting architecture and standardizing its hybrid code integration pipelines alongside high-performance computing (HPC) centers globally. Technical Architecture & Specifications [...]

Paris-based quantum leader Alice & Bob has announced the completion of its ambitious recruitment drive, hiring over 100 employees in just seven months. This surge brings the company’s total headcount to 251, reaching its target 30% faster than the original June 2026 schedule. This milestone contrasts sharply with the broader French labor market, which LinkedIn reports is currently 30% below pre-pandemic benchmarks, and a global tech sector characterized by widespread layoffs. The rapid expansion follows the company's September 2025 hiring plan, which was designed to scale the specialized workforce necessary for the development of its universal fault-tolerant quantum computer, Graphene. The [...]

Alice & Bob, in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory and GE Vernova, has been awarded $3.9 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry (QC3) program. The three-year project aims to develop fault-tolerant quantum algorithms to identify rare-earth-free permanent magnets, which are essential components for electric motors and turbines. The effort is directed toward providing a technical alternative to neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, whose supply chains are currently geographically concentrated and subject to political constraints. The technical objective of the project is to achieve a 10,000-fold speed-up in computing time compared to current state-of-the-art classical simulations. [...]

Horizon Quantum Computing and Alice & Bob have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate their respective software and hardware capabilities, aimed at accelerating the deployment of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC). The partnership centers on the integration of Alice & Bob’s quantum emulators—"virtual versions" of their physical hardware—into Horizon Quantum’s Triple Alpha development environment. This full-stack solution is designed to allow developers to experiment with and test quantum error correction (QEC) protocols using Alice & Bob’s specialized "cat qubit" architecture before physical systems are fully deployed. Alice & Bob’s cat qubit technology is specifically engineered for high hardware efficiency, with the company [...]

Alice & Bob, a French-based quantum computing company specializing in fault-tolerant systems using cat qubits, has announced a strategic partnership with TERATEC, a leading French initiative for high-performance computing (HPC) and simulation. As a new member, Alice & Bob joins over 80 industrial companies, research centers, and academic institutions—including Airbus, AMD, Thales, and L’Oréal—working in the strategic areas of simulation, HPC, AI, and early Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing (eFTQC). The partnership underscores the growing imperative for the HPC and quantum communities to collaborate on integration planning. Alice & Bob will contribute its expertise in integrating quantum hardware and its full software stack [...]

Alice & Bob, a French quantum computing company, has announced its inclusion in Sifted’s ‘Future 50’ list, a ranking of Europe’s top-performing emerging startups. The company is the only quantum computing company to be ranked, achieving a calculated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 417.38% based on revenue growth over the past two financial years. The recognition is based on strict criteria requiring companies to be headquartered in Europe, privately held, and generating revenue exceeding €500k in the latest financial year. This growth follows the launch of Alice & Bob’s campaign to double its workforce by mid-2026 and the ongoing construction [...]
