Today, we celebrate €100M in funding,🦄 but five years ago, we faced skeptical smiles. This is the story of Alice & Bob’s growth, as seen by one of the few who has been here since day one: our CEO, @PeronninTheau . 🦸 🔗 Read Théau’s blogpost: He reflects on the journey, from our very first milestone, where a prototype proved our idea had legs, 🌱  to Boson 4, the single cat qubit chip that set a world record with bit-flip lifetimes exceeding seven minutes. 🥇 Now, Alice & Bob is entering a second phase. Last month, we published our roadmap to 2030, outlining the key challenges and strategy towards building a useful quantum computer by the end of the decade🌍. And with the quantum field now at a turning point, scaling our technology has never been more urgent, or more possible. 🚀 Here’s to continuing this journey, fueled by talent, ambition, and a pinch of madness, because this mission is bigger than all of us. 🌟👉  Read the blog: #quantumcomputing #CEO #fundraising #startuplife

This is what we took home from Silicon Valley this year. 🤓 Last week at #Q2B2024, we joined the annual gathering of the global quantum community, bringing our Roadmap to 2030 and Whitepaper with us. And took back some takeaways: 🔑 1. No One-Size-Fits-All Yet There is still no "one platform to rule them all", and while the hype shifts each year (2022: trapped ions with @QuantinuumQC, 2023: atoms with @QueraComputing, 2024: superconducting circuits with @Google), it's clear that the race is open. 👀 🔑 2. The Real Work Begins With Quantum Error Correction (QEC) now firmly in place, attention is turning to the next big engineering challenges. 🛠️ One key area is live decoding, driven by new classical hardware. Alice & Bob is perfectly positioned to tackle these challenges with our hardware-efficient approach. 🤝 🔑 3. 100+ Logical Qubits Reaching the 'logical scale' necessary for useful quantum computing is now universal goal. 🏆 At Alice & Bob we're laser-focused on reaching 100 logical qubits. Our cat qubits are crucial in this journey, allowing us to deliver value with a fraction of the resources. Check out our Roadmap to 2030 here: 🔑 4. Theory Still Matters @Google, @awscloud, @nvidia, @QueraComputing and Alice & Bob held the Error Correction Roadmaps panel. One thing is clear: quantum computing will become useful not only by scaling up hardware, but also by improving our understanding of quantum error correction architectures making them ever more efficient. ⚖️ 💡 Our Roadmap to 2030 At Alice & Bob we tackle one of the field’s most pressing challenges, scaling error correction. Without an effective solution to this, useful quantum computers won’t be possible. ✍🏼 Check out how we plan to do this in our Whitepaper: #quantumcomputing #Q2B24

Willow is the "best" quantum processor out there today. 🌟 But not for the reason you think. Willow won't replace today's supercomputers anytime soon. ✨Solving in minutes mathematical problems that take classical computers eons is "just" an impressive showcase of exceptional quantum hardware control. The real scientific headline? It's far more groundbreaking and ties back to @GoogleQuantumAI findings on the chip that became Willow back in August. 🧑‍🔬 Need a refresher? 👇 Don't hesitate to dive deeper, we just published a whitepaper to understand all of this and more:

Meet @CecilePerrault & @victorkerros at our booth! 🤝

Next, we build a quantum computer 🖥️🔬 This is our roadmap to kickstart the quantum era... 💡Building a practical quantum computer is an immense challenge. Many are working on it, but at Alice & Bob, we’re using cat qubits to do it with far less hardware than others. 🪐Today, we’re unveiling our roadmap, outlining the challenges we’re solving to make quantum computers more reliable, powerful, and efficient. Our approach? Investing in the quality of our qubits and drastically reducing the footprint of Quantum Error Correction. 👇🏻In our latest blog post, @RLescanne , our CTO and co-founder, dives into our roadmap and what it means for a company focused on science to create powerful products. ▶️ This roadmap isn’t just a to-do list; it’s a product story that becomes clearer and more compelling the more you understand the unique strengths of the cat qubit. 🐱✨ That’s why the roadmap doesn’t come alone, but as the final chapter of our whitepaper, published today, which makes this technology accessible to everyone. 📄 By 2030, our goal is to deliver a quantum computer that people will buy not because it’s quantum, but because it can achieve feats that no other technology can. 🚀 #Roadmap #Quantumcomputing #QuantumPhysics
