The partnership will work to train researchers across quantum error correction, filling a gap in the current workforceQuantum computing company Alice & Bob has today (12 August) announced a partnership with QuBriC, Europe’s first Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network dedicated to quantum error correction. 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 €4.6m in funding, to be delivered over four years through Horizon Europe’s MSCA programme, the network aims to develop researchers capable of tackling one of quantum computing’s biggest technical challenges, quantum error correction. As an industry partner Alice & Bob will further develop the network’s research and training endeavours, while QuBriC will provide access to a pipeline of highly specialised talent and an academic network closely aligned on fault-tolerant quantum computing. Recently, quantum computing company Quantinuum and Technology platform Oracle announced a multi-year partnership that aims to blend quantum computing and cloud infrastructure.
