Alice & Bob, a developer of cat-qubit hardware, has become a part of the QuBriC Doctoral Network, a consortium focused on quantum error correction, backed by a €4.6 million grant from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions1. This network, spanning 48 months, brings together 16 academic institutions under the Horizon Europe initiative. The primary goal of QuBriC is to bridge the gap between quantum and classical error correction, ultimately aiming to achieve scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. By joining this network, Alice & Bob contributes its expertise in cat-qubit hardware to the collective effort of advancing quantum error correction techniques. The inclusion of industry partners like Alice & Bob alongside academic institutions underscores the collaborative approach necessary for overcoming the complex challenges in quantum computing. This development matters to practitioners because it signifies a concerted effort to address quantum error correction, a crucial hurdle in the development of reliable and efficient quantum computing systems.
