Discover how Alice & Bob is building a practical quantum computer using Cat Qubits. To achieve this, five major milestones must be overcome in order to create a quantum computer capable of solving meaningful problems by the end of the decade. This is the fourth part of Alice & Bob’s whitepaper: “Think Inside The Box”, narrated by Christopher Bishop.

The cat qubit is a novel type of quantum bit designed to be naturally protected from a whole class of errors. While creating and controlling one is challenging, it could make quantum error correction much more practical. This is the third part of Alice & Bob’s whitepaper: “Think Inside The Box”, narrated by Christopher Bishop.

Errors are the biggest challenge in building a practical quantum computer. Quantum hardware must overcome decoherence and correct these errors, but there’s a price to pay. Tune in to learn about qubits, the nature of errors, and the methods used for error correction. This is the second part of Alice & Bob’s whitepaper: “Think Inside The Box”, narrated by Christopher Bishop.

From the initial concept of a quantum computer to today's logical qubits, billions have been invested in the quest for a new computing paradigm, yet we still haven't reached success. Why are so many efforts underway, and what's holding us back from achieving it? This is the first part of Alice & Bob’s whitepaper: “Think Inside The Box”, narrated by Christopher Bishop.
