The system will also need a gas handling unit and a compressor.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"8bre3\">The company said it wasn\u2019t unveiling Helium to sell compute, but aiming to open it to research partners, HPC centers, and \u201cpioneers who want to help shape the future of quantum computing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"1afnd\">The upgradable quantum system will also support the next 48 cat-qubit chip on Alice &amp; Bob\u2019s roadmap \u2013 expected to feature multiple logical qubits.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"d3j43\">Founded in 2020, Alice &amp; Bob claims its superconducting \u2018cat qubits\u2019 are protected from bit-flip errors by design, meaning additional error-correcting qubits are only needed to tackle the remaining phase-flip errors. Though Amazon is also developing cat qubit quantum systems, Alice &amp; Bob said Helium is the first on-premise system based on the technology.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"5ho7f\">The company is developing a $50 million quantum computing laboratory in Paris, France. The 4,000 sqm (43,055 sq ft) purpose-built facility will be able to host up to 20 quantum systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-block-auto_featured_content block-auto_featured_content\">\n<div class=\"panel panel--plain\">\n<h2 class=\"panel__title\">More in HPC &amp; Quantum<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"plain-list flex-container\">\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card taxonomy channel-compute-storage-networking\">\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cambridge University was focussed on cooling for its data center project\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/Cambridge-University.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.jpg\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-03-12\">12 Mar 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"bi-260219-teleportation\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/bi-260219-teleportation.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.jpg\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-02-20\">20 Feb 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-block-auto_featured_content block-auto_featured_content\">\n<div class=\"panel panel--plain\">\n<h2 class=\"panel__title\">More in IT Hardware &amp; Semiconductors<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"plain-list flex-container\">\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card taxonomy channel-compute-storage-networking\">\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samsung MWC 2026\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/IMG_9425.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.jpg\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-03-03\">03 Mar 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LG paju south korea\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/LG_paju_south_korea.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.png\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-06-08\">08 Jun 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French quantum computing firm Alice &amp; Bob is making its quantum computer available to customers for on-premises deployment.
