France Secures Alice & Bob Cat‑Qubit Quantum Computer for National Research Network

France has acquired a quantum computer built on Alice & Bob cat‑qubit technology. The system will be integrated into the national research infrastructure. Officials described the acquisition as a step toward advanced quantum research. The cat‑qubit platform is known for its unique error‑resilience approach. The device will be accessible to universities and public labs across the country. Funding for the purchase was allocated from the science budget. Researchers anticipate new experiments in computation and simulation. The rollout is expected to enhance France’s standing in the global quantum race.
