The science behind the Brief. We do not aim to be exhaustive — we aim to name the load-bearing papers a sector reader should be able to discuss.

First public demonstration of multi-zone QCCD running below the surface-code threshold at #AQ 64 with statistically meaningful logical-error scaling. The strongest single experimental result of the cycle.
Below-threshold 4-round logical circuits on a multi-hundred-atom Rydberg system; the breakthrough that lifted QuEra into the DARPA Stage B "high" odds tier.
Manufacturable photonic FTQC architecture at million-qubit scale; the engineering paper that underpins the IQMP build-out.
First demonstration of exponentially suppressed logical error with surface codes at distance 7 — the proof that scaling error correction is no longer hypothetical.
One of the foundational error-corrected logical-gate experiments of the modern era. Still cited in every Stage B roadmap document.
A bibliography is opinionated by definition — what gets in, in what order, and how it is described. We treat these choices as editorial, not technical.
