Alice & Bob publishes a computer architecture blueprint for decoupled AI topologies to reduce control-loop latencies in fault-tolerant quantum computing stacks.

Alice & Bob and Bull expand partnership to integrate cat-qubit systems into HPC, with deployment at CEA's TGCC in 2027.
Series of superconducting cat qubit processors designed to suppress bit-flip errors autonomously at the hardware level. The Boson 4 chip demonstrated a bit-flip lifetime exceeding 7 minutes; a 2025 successor sustained stability for approximately one hour—a record for superconducting qubits. Cat qubits encode quantum information in superpositions of coherent states, inherently protecting against one error type and dramatically reducing the overhead needed for full fault tolerance.
Alice & Bob's 2025 development-stage processor targeting the construction of a single error-corrected logical qubit below the fault-tolerance threshold, using concatenated cat qubit codes. Represents the second stage of the company's roadmap (following Boson) toward a universal fault-tolerant machine. Designed for researchers benchmarking logical-qubit performance and early quantum error correction experiments on superconducting hardware.
