Quantum Hardware & Infrastructure – Building & Lab /
CDI /
Hybrid
Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.
The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously!
We are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM, and we are growing fast after securing €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology.
Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future!
Alice & Bob is developing a quantum computer based on cat qubits. While already operating cryostats in its existing site, we are stepping up by building a new facility in the North of Paris (project “B3”: 4000m2, construction started, start of operation - end 2025) to increase the test and operation capacity of Quantum Processor Units. The new facility will accelerate our design iteration cycle, and will include a cryohall and cleanroom (ISO6/7).
Within the Quantum Hardware and Infrastructure department, the Building and Lab Facilities team was created to oversee the operation of building and facilities, and manage new projects of modification/extension.
