Track; not yet
- Why
- Genuine technical leap (4x the qubit count and a 22-percentage-point Grover accuracy jump versus the prior on-chip photonic MBQC benchmark, University of Stuttgart 80.8%) backed by a real commercial entity that just closed >100M RMB in funding — but the headline result itself is a same-week, not-yet-peer-reviewed preprint with an authors-acknowledged scaling obstacle (2^n resource growth, DOF-conversion loss), so readiness claims should not be taken at face value until independent confirmation lands.
- Next
- Re-check on journal publication / independent replication of the 4-photon 16-qubit Grover result, and monitor whether Hefei Guizhen folds the high-dimensional path-encoding technique into its existing cloud-accessible photonic quantum platform.
