In the paper's words

By replacing active syndrome extraction with passive topological protection derived from the 25 meV spectral gap of 45-degree twisted Bi-2212, the architecture circumvents the cooling power limitations of dilution refrigeration to enable the monolithic integration of classical control logic at 4 Kelvin. The scaling trajectory of superconducting quantum computing is currently arrested by a fundamental mismatch between the thermal fragility of aluminum-based qubits and the power dissipation requirements of fault-tolerant control logic. Standard transmon architectures, operating at 20 millikelvin to suppress thermal noise below their 20 microelectronvolt spectral linewidth, rely on dilution refrigeration systems limited to approximately 20 microwatts of cooling power at the mixing chamber.

The abstract, verbatim, and its opening sentence is the claim. Every line below is quoted from the text.

Numbers it reports

  1. By exploiting the intrinsic 25 millielectronvolt superconducting gap of 45-degree twisted bismuth-strontium-calcium-copper-oxide, the system maintains a Boltzmann suppression factor of roughly $e^{-70}$ against thermal excitations at a base temperature of 4 Kelvin.

  2. At the standard operating temperature of 4.2 Kelvin, where the thermal energy $k_B T$ is roughly 0.36 millielectronvolts, this energy barrier yields an Arrhenius suppression factor of $\exp(-70)$.

  4. This operating regime allows for the replacement of helium-3 dilution units with closed-cycle pulse tube cryocoolers, which provide cooling capacities exceeding 1 Watt.

  5. This technique substitutes the stochastic variability of mechanical stacking with a deterministic, wafer-scale process capable of enforcing the chiral phase transition within the strict angular tolerance required for 4 Kelvin operation.

How it is done

  1. To override this intrinsic lattice locking, the manufacturing protocol employs graphoepitaxial templating, a lithographic strategy that utilizes physical confinement to dictate crystallographic orientation against the substrate’s elastic restoring force.

What would falsify it

The paper's text states no explicit falsification criterion; the limits below are what it says about where the claim stops.

Where the claim stops

  2. While the native d-wave state permits low-energy quasiparticles near the nodes, the induced gap of the twisted interface creates a continuous exclusion zone of approximately twenty-five millielectronvolts.

  3. When the characteristic dimension of the nucleation via is reduced below a critical threshold of approximately 200 nanometers, the energetic penalty of aligning with the rotated mask walls becomes the dominant term in the Gibbs free energy minimization.
