An architecture concept for a quantum-classical hybrid processor family, restated under the CRI-One honesty standard.
| Visionary claim | Honest restatement |
|---|---|
| "100.00 YFLOPS peak throughput" | A tier name, like Quetta in the PhantasmPhi line — never a measurement. 10²⁶ FLOPS is ~10⁸× today's largest exascale systems (~1–2 EFLOPS, TOP500 2025). No basis exists for stating it as a rating; it is retracted as a specification and retained only as the series' aspirational name-scale. |
| "100.0% gate fidelity" | Retracted as stated: perfect gate fidelity is not achievable in a physical device. Restated as a research target of ≥ 99.9% (two-qubit gate records in trapped ions and superconducting qubits sit near 99.9%; e.g. Ballance et al. 2016). |
| "100,000 logical qubits (700,000 physical)" | A roadmap-scale target. Publicly demonstrated systems are at the ~10³-physical-qubit class with logical-qubit demonstrations in the tens; a 7:1 physical:logical ratio assumes error-correction overheads far below current surface-code practice (~10²–10³:1). Restated as a Stage-4+ aspiration contingent on major published QEC advances. |
| "550-layer / 500-layer stack" | Restated per the project-21 "Mistakes Removed" record: 500-layer un-synthesizable tops were retired from the portfolio. The defensible ladder is the PhantasmPhi Deposition-Strata roadmap (≈40 → ≈96 mask layers, GENERATIONS.md); "550" survives only as visionary-tier naming. |
| "DNA storage 21.50 EB/mm³ · molecular logic on-die" | Laboratory DNA storage is real at research scale (Church et al. 2012, ~PB/gram class); on-die synthetic-DNA compute integrated with 1.5 nm CMOS is speculative and restated as an exploratory research thread, not a shipping subsystem. |
| "Synthesis, P&R, DRC/LVS scripts with passing reports" | Restated as earnable: the license ships the DIY-GDSII forge path proven in the PhantasmPhi line (2026-08-21: real OpenLane2 place-and-route, routing closed at zero violations, dual streamout, XOR-matched) — the buyer generates the reports themselves, verifiably, from the RTL that is the only thing for sale. |
| "No prior art can invalidate the claims" | Retracted: no one can warrant that. Restated: the architecture's public documentation trail (2010, Internet Archive) and filings (2012+) establish priority dates; their legal effect is for counsel and examiners, not sales copy. |
| Stage | Goal | Evidence gate |
|---|---|---|
| 0 (now) | Architecture prospectus + this honest companion | Public documents; witnessed-tier execution record |
| 1 | Classical subsystem RTL to the witnessed standard | Proof battery + P&R via the forge, hashes published |
| 2 | Mature-node classical tape-out (SKY130-class shuttle) | Fabricated die, bench measurements |
| 3 | Quantum subsystem feasibility with a research partner | Peer-reviewable fidelity / coherence data |
| 4+ | Leading-edge co-integration | Foundry engagement under NDA; measured silicon only |
