Today sees the expansion of QuBriC, Europe's first Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network dedicated to quantum error correction (QEC), with the addition of fault-tolerant quantum computing scaleup Alice & Bob.
QuBriC brings together 16 universities and seven quantum companies across Europe, including ETH Zürich, TU Delft, UCL, INRIA, Riverlane and IQM, to recruit and train 15 doctoral researchers.
Backed by €4.6 million in funding over 48 months through Horizon Europe's MSCA programme, the network will develop a new generation of researchers capable of tackling one of quantum computing's biggest technical challenges: quantum error correction.
Quantum error correction is widely recognised as the key to building scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers. Yet expertise remains fragmented, with researchers typically specialising in either classical coding theory or quantum physics.
QuBriC aims to bridge that divide by training researchers across the full quantum error correction stack - from theory and algorithms to hardware implementation.
