Items Controlled

a. Quantum computers, as follows: a.1. Quantum computers supporting 34 or more, but fewer than 100, 'fully controlled', 'connected' and 'working' 'physical qubits', and having a 'C-NOT error' of less than or equal to 10 −4 ; a.2. Quantum computers supporting 100 or more, but fewer than 200, 'fully controlled', 'connected' and 'working' 'physical qubits', and having a 'C-NOT error' of less than or equal to 10 −3 ; a.3. Quantum computers supporting 200 or more, but fewer than 350, 'fully controlled', 'connected' and 'working' 'physical qubits', and having a 'C-NOT error' of less than or equal to 2 × 10 −3 ; a.4. Quantum computers supporting 350 or more, but fewer than 500, 'fully controlled', 'connected' and 'working' 'physical qubits', and having a 'C-NOT error' of less than or equal to 3 × 10 −3 ; a.5. Quantum computers supporting 500 or more, but fewer than 700, 'fully controlled', 'connected' and 'working' 'physical qubits', and having a 'C-NOT error' of less than or equal to 4 × 10 −3 ; a.6. Quantum computers supporting 700 or more, but fewer than 1,100, 'fully controlled', 'connected' and 'working' 'physical qubits', and having a 'C-NOT error' of less than or equal to 5 × 10 −3 ; a.7.

Export Control Context

Category 4 covers digital computers, hybrid computers, and related assemblies. High-performance computing equipment is controlled due to its potential use in nuclear weapons design, advanced simulations, and signals intelligence. APP (Advanced Computing) controls were significantly updated in 2022.
