Riverlane, a global leader in quantum error correction technology, and Alice & Bob, a developer of fault-tolerant quantum computers, have signed a collaboration agreement to integrate Riverlane’s quantum error correction (QEC) stack with Alice & Bob’s cat qubit technology. Cat qubits, a unique type of superconducting qubit developed by Alice & Bob, are designed to reduce bit-flip errors, addressing a key challenge in quantum computing.

Quantum computers require error correction to address both bit and phase flip errors in real-time. Riverlane’s QEC stack, Deltaflow, incorporates a powerful quantum error decoder, which complements the error resistance of cat qubits. This integration aims to build a large-scale error-corrected quantum computer using significantly fewer hardware resources than current approaches.

The partnership was announced at the France Quantum conference in Paris, emphasizing the critical importance of error correction for advancing quantum computing.
