Quantum Research Community Manager

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.

We are building a quantum computer based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. Compared to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits can implement quantum error correction autonomously.

We are a diverse team of 250+ scientists from over 35 countries, united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault‑tolerant quantum machine. Join us to shape the future of quantum computing.
