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%.
