The chip is codenamed Helium 1 and contains 16 qubits to test out Alice & Bob's cat qubit architecture for achieving a very high fidelity logical qubit. The term "tape out" means that the company has finished the design and sent the design files to a fabrication facility for construction. After the chip has been built, it will undergo extensive testing, characterization, and calibration by the company's engineering team to realize the optimum performance and then made available for external use by the company's customers. Any lessons learned during this process will be utilized in the design of the next chip [...]

Alice & Bob, a hardware developer in quantum computing, has partnered with OVHcloud to launch Felis, the first quantum emulator capable of predicting the behavior of logical qubits. Available through the OVHcloud Public Cloud universe, Felis allows users to tune error rates and abstracts error correction, simplifying quantum algorithm testing. Felis is a significant addition to OVHcloud’s quantum emulators and a step forward for the French quantum industry. It enables algorithm developers to experiment with high-quality qubits, accelerating the path to industrially relevant applications. This is the first time an emulator is capable of anticipating the behavior of logical qubits with [...]
