Track; not yet
- Why
- JION is a genuine operational milestone -- the first laser-free, microwave/RF-gated trapped-ion QPU wired directly into a national exascale HPC facility -- but it is explicitly non-fault-tolerant, its best published two-qubit fidelity trails leading competitors (Quantinuum, IonQ) by roughly an order of magnitude in error rate, and Pragma.Vision has no near-term architectural dependency on trapped-ion QC; this warrants awareness, not adoption action.
- Next
- Re-evaluate once eleQtron/Jülich publish independently verified in-situ fidelity for JION itself (current best figure is a 2025 lab result from the predecessor Siegen demonstrator, not a confirmed measurement on the deployed 60-qubit system), and once the SQALING chip-scale roadmap or the Q-STAR.NRW 200-qubit integration shows concrete progress.
