Alice & Bob
At Alice & Bob, we're building the first universal quantum computer. This is humanity's next challenge.
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!
The race to build a stable logical qubit has only just begun. At Alice & Bob, we’re following a unique approach using protected qubits to make error correction faster and more efficient than other platforms. This method blocks bit-flips, so only phase-flips need correcting.Yet, the bit flip error rate currently saturates to about one error every 100 seconds, a value that is thought to be set by the rate of high energy particles impacts on the chip. We believe there is a way of mitigate this limitation. Would you be willing to help us to implement it ?
You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer!
We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
