Our take
Creating top-tier quantum hardware, including qubits and control electronics, presents a significant hurdle for those pursuing high-power quantum computing. Various qubit technologies exist, each boasting unique advantages and drawbacks, with the most recent research in the sector involving the pursuit of a scalable, fault-tolerant qubit technology.
Joining this pursuit is Alice & Bob, a company specialising in "cat qubits". This technology, named for Schrodinger’s infamous cat, is able to reduce hardware requirements, promising fault-tolerant quantum computing at scale. With over 90 employees and pioneering experimental results, Alice & Bob has notable achievements, including the development of its 16-bit Helium 1 quantum processing unit.
Recognised for its ground-breaking work, Alice & Bob recently received a hefty innovation grant that will support its work moving forwards. Through projects like "Cat Factory," in collaboration with academic partners, the company aims to optimise quantum computation infrastructure, making it more cost-effective and market-ready and ultimately building "the first universal quantum computer”.
