Are the qubits physical or logical? Is there a paper, and who checked it? A reader can judge a quantum computing announcement with seven questions, each shown here with a 2026 case and the document that answers it.
The Sydney company said it cut its February estimate by about an order of magnitude in qubit-time with its Pinnacle 1.2 update. It has not published the circuits, the decoder, or the hardware behind its decoding speed.
Researchers have fit Shor's algorithm into 9,739 neutral-atom physical qubits, with elliptic-curve runs that lengthen from 10 days to about 1,000 as the count falls. The authors assumed error rates and clock speeds no machine has shown together.
