What it does not test. This does not establish that the chips work at production scale or that any quantum computer maker has adopted them.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Finnish VC preseeds already-Finnish spinout; chips unproven, ownership unchanged. European Sovereignty Index
