**What it does not test.** Does not establish that integration with Leonardo is complete; Pasqal says that is expected in the coming months.

**How this item counts.** Towards autonomy: it changes who operates, who made the parts. Binding 3 of 3 (in force or operating), scale 2 of 3 (medium), Verified counts in full: weight +12 of 36 possible. French-built Pasqal quantum computer delivered to Italy's CINECA; national HPC site, Leonardo-linked. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
