About me
Matija is a Quantum Engagement Manager in The Box at Alice & Bob. He works with his clients in crafting their quantum strategy and selecting the best use cases where quantum computing can be beneficial. Before joining Alice & Bob, he worked at McKinsey & Company where, in addition to his client work in quantum technologies, he authored multiple reports on quantum computing. His educational background is in experimental quantum physics, with a PhD from ETH Zurich.
My organisation
Alice & Bob is a French quantum computing hardware builder based on the technology of cat qubits. Our core belief is that we need fault-tolerant devices to get value from quantum computers; therefore, we have chosen the cat qubit that suppresses bit flip noise exponentially, and we use quantum error correction codes to correct the remaining phase flip. This approach allows us to reduce qubit counts by factors of up to 200x.
