**What it does not test.** Does not establish that Lucy has run a workload beyond validation, or that it outperforms non European quantum systems.

**How this item counts.** Towards autonomy: it changes who owns, who operates, who made the parts. Binding 3 of 3 (in force or operating), scale 1 of 3 (small), Verified counts in full: weight +9 of 36 possible. French/German-built quantum computer inaugurated in France; owned, operated, made in Europe. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
