Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
Notable architectural-integration milestone and real 2025 loss progress, but a 12-qubit prototype with optical loss explicitly unsolved; no usable capability or pv integration path for years.
Next
Track Xanadu's optical-loss reduction and logical-qubit count toward its ~2028-2030 fault-tolerant data-center target; re-assess on a published fault-tolerant (not just memory/decoding) demonstration and on post-listing financial runway.
