For other reading and looking for context, this is a quantum computing operation, not a materials science research.

I feel like I'm missing something... Why would one think this was in reference to materials science?
Quantum tunneling is the cause of one of the current speed limits in CPU design in higher performance computing.
As transistors and other semiconductor devices continue to shrink to sizes of atoms, we enter the realm of the quantum world. Here, we encounter an increasingly significant phenomenon known as “quantum tunneling”.
Because Alibaba, ships a lot of things.
Maybe other Quantum Computer initiatives have great OPSEC.
That's what the media says, what's the reality just they know.
Maybe they came far enough that the party now takes over their equipment.
This is highly plausible.
It's too expensive to become profitable within the lifetime of the current board of directors and investors, and also no one was likely paid enough to be qualified to justify the expense to anyone in charge.
