contents The Kuznetsov component of the derived category of a cubic fourfold is a `non-commutative K3 surface'. Its symmetric square is hence a `non-commutative hyperkaehler fourfold'. We prove that this category is equivalent to the derived category of an actual hyperkaehler fourfold: the Fano of lines in the cubic. This verifies a conjecture of Galkin. One of the key steps in our proof is a new derived equivalence for a specific 12-dimensional flop.
