What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-23

Track; not yet

Why
H2 was a genuine, arXiv-published, multi-vendor-validated milestone (14,000 error-free experiments, 800x error suppression) but by the vendors' own roadmap it sits at 'Level 2: Resilient' — years before the fault-tolerant, cryptographically-relevant scale (Apollo, 2029/2030) that would make this actionable for any pragma.vision-adjacent product decision today; it is already superseded by Quantinuum's own Helios system.
Next
Re-check when Quantinuum/Microsoft publish independently peer-reviewed logical error rates at the Apollo (2029 target) scale, or when a third party (e.g. a national lab or academic group) replicates comparable error-suppression ratios on a different trapped-ion or superconducting platform.
