What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
Furthest-out timeline (2028) with the most ambitious unbuilt spec; AWS itself flags limited initial capacity and a co-design requirement. Credible (real Aquila/3,000-qubit demos) but nothing adoptable for years.
Next
Monitor QuEra/AWS Braket milestone posts through 2027 for interim logical-qubit demos en route to the 2028 Libra target.
