And this is the... I mean, to think of the fact that we are able to build...

Like, something like a million qubit quantum computer in a thing of this size is just unbelievable.

And that's, I think, the crux of it, which is unless and until we could do that, you can't dream of building a utility-scale quantum computer.

Yeah.

So we're, by the way, the one thing that we have also done is we've taken sort of an approach where we sort of separated out our software and our hardware, right?

So we're building out our software stack.

So which is, in fact, we now have...

with a couple of different, with the neutral atom folks, with the ion trap folks.

We're also working with others who even have, I think, pretty good approaches even with photonics and what have you.

So that means there'll be different types of quantum computers.

And in fact, we have, what, 20, I think the last thing that we announced was 24 logical qubits.

So we have also got some fantastic breakthroughs on error correction.

And that's what is allowing us, even on a neutral atom and in ion trap quantum computers, to build these 20 plus.

And that, I think, that'll keep going even in throughout the year.

You'll see us improve that yardstick.

But we also then said, let's go to the first principles and build our own quantum computer that is betting on the topological qubit.

And that's what this breakthrough is about.

We've obviously been working on this for 30 years.

I'm glad we now have the physics breakthrough and the fabrication breakthrough.

I wish we had a quantum computer because, by the way, the first thing the quantum computer will allow us to do is build quantum computers.
