What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-30

Track; not yet

Why
A real peer-reviewed Nature milestone plus an immediate IBM acquisition validate the architecture as a genuine scaling approach, but the qubit count, logical error rate, and unresolved mass-production/interconnect gaps mean this is a lab-scale research prototype -- not yet a hardware substrate pragma.vision would reference as production-grade quantum infrastructure.
Next
Re-check after IBM's HRL acquisition closes (targeted end of Q3 2026) and after any follow-on demonstration that exceeds 18 physical qubits or improves the distance-5 logical error rate below 0.50%.
