A groundbreaking quantum computing achievement just shattered all expectations. Paris-based startup Alice & Bob has created "cat qubits" that can maintain their quantum state for over an hour - millions of times longer than typical qubits that last mere microseconds. This isn't just an incremental improvement; it's a quantum leap that could bring fault-tolerant quantum computers to reality by 2030.
In this episode, we explore how Alice & Bob's revolutionary approach eliminates bit-flip errors at the hardware level, making quantum error correction 200 times more efficient. We'll discuss what this means for drug discovery, materials science, and the future of AI - and why this breakthrough could be the catalyst for the next technological revolution.
Join us as we break down this complex science into understandable insights and explore how quantum computing might soon solve problems that have belonged to the realm of the impossible.
