Dr. Théau Peronnin is a physicist by training, but most importantly, by vocation. He earned his master’s degree from the École Polytechnichnique in Paris and his PhD in quantum physics from the ENS Lyon. In 2020, his long-time work alongside Raphaël Lescanne on bit-flip-protected qubit design was published by Nature Physics. Soon thereafter, building on this groundbreaking work, they both founded Alice & Bob, with Théau as its CEO. Their start-up’s mission is to escape decoherence and bring Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing to humanity.
