Cat-qubit hardware developer Alice & Bob has joined QuBriC (Bridging Quantum and Classical Error Correction for Scalable Fault-tolerant Quantum Computing), Europe’s first Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network dedicated entirely to Quantum Error Correction (QEC). Funded via a €4.6 million ($5.0 million) grant over 48 months under Horizon Europe, the consortium unites 16 academic institutions and seven quantum enterprises to train 15 PhD candidates across the complete QEC stack—combining classical coding theory, quantum information science, and hardware control engineering. The initiative addresses a critical talent gap in fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC), where expertise remains bifurcated between theoretical physics and classical error-correcting [...]

The €4.6 million MSCA-backed QuBriC network brings together 16 universities and seven quantum companies to train 15 doctoral researchers in quantum error correction.

Alice & Bob will partner with well-known quantum platform QuBriC to advance research and quantum error correction.
