**What it does not test.** Does not establish that the Superion system or quantum network has yet been installed; the announcement covers the centre's opening and future plans.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. IonQ (US) keeps ownership of planned system; Cambridge only hosts/operates, no own/law shift yet.. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
