Schedule 2G, Part 2 Quantum computing and advanced materials goods (paras. 2-12)

Regulation 20(3)

2. Equipment, "electronic assemblies" and components, specially designed for "quantum computers", quantum electronics, quantum sensors, quantum processing units, qubit circuits, qubit devices or quantum radar systems.

Note 1: "Quantum computers" perform computations that harness the collective properties of quantum states, such as superposition, interference and entanglement.

Note 2: Units, circuits and devices include but are not limited to superconducting circuits, quantum annealing, ion trap, photonic interaction, silicon/spin and cold atoms.

3. "Cryogenic refrigeration systems" designed to maintain temperatures below 1.1 kelvin for 48 hours or more and related cryogenic refrigeration equipment and components as follows:

(a) pulse tubes;

(b) cryostats;

(c) dewars;

(d) gas handling systems (GHS);

(e) compressors;

(f) control units.

Note: "Cryogenic refrigeration systems" include but are not limited to dilution refrigeration, adiabatic demagnisation refrigerators and laser cooling systems.

4. Ultra-High vacuum ("UHV") equipment as follows -
