A whimsically-named quantum company named Alice & Bob actually has a quantum chip in the Google Cloud marketplace.

Its "cat qbits" solve a massive issue that affects all other quantum chips. And it might just make quantum computing actually matter

In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier explores the fascinating paradox of building a quantum computer with Théau Peronnin, CEO and co-founder of Alice and Bob.

They talk about the unique challenges and potential breakthroughs in quantum computing, discussing how Alice and Bob's quantum chip aims to overcome the notorious problems of bit flips and phase flips.

Théau explains the concept of a universal quantum computer, the importance of error correction, and the revolutionary impact quantum computing could have on science, technology, and industry.
