French quantum startup developing cat qubit technology; inherently suppresses bit-flip errors requiring fewer physical qubits per logical qubit than competing superconducting approaches.
Alice & Bob is a Paris-based quantum computing startup that develops a novel qubit technology called cat qubits — quantum bits that exploit a quantum mechanical phenomenon to inherently suppress certain types of errors, potentially enabling fault-tolerant quantum computers with fewer physical qubits per logical qubit than competing approaches. Cat qubits leverage quantum superpositions of coherent states in microwave resonators to create a hardware-native bias against bit-flip errors, meaning the system only needs to correct phase-flip errors in software, dramatically reducing the overhead required for quantum error correction. If successful, this approach could reach fault-tolerant quantum computation with ten to one hundred times fewer physical qubits than superconducting qubit approaches. Founded in 2020 as a spinout from the Paris École Normale Supérieure, Alice & Bob raised €30M in Series A funding from investors including BpiFrance and Elaia Partners. The company is building a roadmap toward commercial quantum advantage through hardware-efficient error correction. It competes with IBM, Google, and IonQ in the race toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.
Oracle Corporation's cloud ERP for SMBs (40,000+ customers, 219 countries); NetSuite Next's Ask Oracle natural language AI assistant (SuiteWorld 2025), single-platform financial/CRM/inventory competing with SAP Business One.
NetSuite is a San Mateo, California and Austin, Texas-based cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform and business unit of Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) — serving over 40,000 customers in 219 countries and territories with cloud-native financial management, CRM, inventory, supply chain, human capital management, and e-commerce applications designed for small-to-midsize businesses and rapidly growing enterprises that need unified business management software from a single cloud platform. NetSuite was founded in 1998 as NetLedger (one of the world's first cloud-based ERP systems) and acquired by Oracle in 2016 for $9.3 billion. Oracle's platform integration — connecting NetSuite to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle Analytics Cloud, and Oracle's AI layer — enables NetSuite to leverage hyperscale compute, data warehousing, and generative AI capabilities that independent ERP vendors cannot build at equivalent cost. At SuiteWorld 2025, NetSuite unveiled NetSuite Next, featuring Ask Oracle — a natural language AI assistant enabling business users to search records, navigate workflows, analyze financial data, and trigger business actions across the entire NetSuite dataset through conversational queries rather than menu navigation — advancing toward autonomous AI-driven business management. The Oracle leadership transition (co-CEOs Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia replacing Safra Catz) underscores Oracle's commitment to accelerating cloud product innovation across NetSuite, Oracle Cloud ERP (Fusion), and Oracle's SaaS portfolio.
