Verified AI-drafted [Alice & Bob press release via EIN Presswire, 20 October 2026](https://www.einpresswire.com/article/950767473/alice-bob-shares-first-results-from-france-s-proqcima-quantum-programme?ref=sovereigntymonitor.eu)

**What it does not test.** Does not show fault tolerant quantum computing; the error rate remains above the correction threshold.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. R&D milestone, error rate still above threshold; no ownership/operate/law/parts answer changes. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)

**How this item was made.** Drafted by an AI system (Claude (Anthropic)) from the source cited above and published under the editor’s responsibility without a person reading it first. [How the record is made](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/method/#how-the-record-is-made)
