Good for XNDU

Xanadu's optical switch loss fell from 20 mdB to 7 mdB, addressing a stated barrier to scaling photonic quantum computers. Commercial readiness remains unproven, but the measured improvement favors Xanadu.

The AI's read

Lower signal loss could help Xanadu build larger photonic quantum computers because less qubit signal is degraded. The report describes a technical result, not proof that commercial computers are ready. Still, it directly addresses a stated barrier to scaling.
