France bets 500 million that quantum computing is the tech race Europe can finally win
""It's not about being faster," says co-founder and CEO Théau Peronnin, who founded the company in 2020 with Raphaël Lescanne. "It's about being so dramatically faster that you change what is feasible.""
"Alice & Bob's cat qubits are designed to autonomously correct certain errors at the hardware level, potentially reducing the number of physical qubits needed by orders of magnitude."
"France's PROQCIMA programme, a government initiative, aims to deliver a fault-tolerant quantum computer demonstrator with 128 logical qubits by 2030 and a 2,048-logical-qubit computer thereafter."
France is positioning itself as a serious contender in quantum computing, supported by €500 million in government funding and strong physics research. Alice & Bob, a Paris-based startup, is at the forefront with its 'cat qubit' technology that autonomously corrects errors, potentially reducing the number of physical qubits needed. The company has raised €100 million in funding and is investing in a new laboratory for chip fabrication. The PROQCIMA program aims to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2030.
