Story summary

Alice and Bob report cat qubits resist bit-flip errors for over one hour, beating the 2024 430-second record.
The Galvanic Cat design yields 33–60 minutes of bit-flip time with 95% confidence.
The results could cut hardware needs by up to 200× and move toward 100 logical qubits for materials science; skyrmions are viable topological qubits with superconducting hybrids.
