Nvidia's NVentures invests in Alice & Bob's €100M Series B for fault-tolerant quantum computing
What's the deal? Nvidia's venture capital arm, NVenturesDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, has invested in French quantum computing startup Alice & Bob. The investment brings Alice & Bob's Series B round to €100M and will support the company's work on fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture.
NVentures disclosed the deal on Friday.
Why now? Quantum computing has moved from theoretical curiosity to an active investment frontier, with major tech companies racing to back startups that could crack fault tolerance — the key barrier to making quantum computers practically useful. Nvidia, already dominant in AI chips, appears to be hedging its bets on the next paradigm in computing.
The signal: Alice & Bob's proprietary approach — self-correcting Schrödinger cat qubits — sets it apart in the crowded quantum landscape by tackling error correction at the hardware level, a differentiation that likely drew Nvidia's attention. Now classified as a late-growth stage company on Dealroom, Alice & Bob's €100M round positions it as one of Europe's best-capitalised quantum startups, underscoring how the continent's quantum sector is maturing from lab-stage research into commercially oriented engineering.
