No, but you might be colorblind
Oh right, that’s what those tests are about.
At that size it should be capable of solving significant problems, but there absolutely no mention of what it could be applied to.
Whilst building it is interesting and an achievement, it's greatly diminished if nobody does anything with it.
The achievement in question is the preparation of the neutral atoms, which realize qubits, on this grid. Controlling the placement of such a large number of individual atoms with just light is a somewhat recent breakthrough that is now maturing.
Addressing the atoms and letting them interact is an entirely different beast, but the prerequisite of placement is just as important.
