Track; not yet
- Why
- The 2023 result is historically significant as the first scaling-reduces-error demonstration, but the effect size was marginal and physical error rates remain many orders of magnitude above what useful fault-tolerant computation requires; not actionable for product dependency yet.
- Next
- Monitor successor logical-qubit scaling results (Willow-class and beyond) for confirmed below-threshold behavior at larger code distance and lower absolute logical error rates before treating surface-code QEC as a load-bearing dependency for any pragma.vision compute roadmap.
