What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-05

Track; not yet

Why
Genuine first — a universal quantum gate set demonstrated on purely photonic hardware — but gates are still probabilistic (Kerr fidelity 0.82±0.03), the result is multi-institution academic research with no verified company behind the 'Extensible Photonics' framing, and no Pragma.Vision platform surface touches photonic quantum hardware today, so no adoption action is warranted yet.
Next
Re-evaluate if Clavina or a successor reports deterministic (non-probabilistic) nonlinear-gate fidelity above roughly 99%, a named commercial spin-out/product, or independent third-party replication.
