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.

I use the keyboard layout EurKey, which is available on KDE Plasma. It’s QWERTY but with European special characters on layer 5, i.e. they are accessed by Alt Gr.

Except they know that they would have to cover the apple in a thin metallic layer for it to be observable under an electron microscope :D
