KLA's process control metrology (wafer inspection, CD-SEM, overlay measurement) is used in semiconductor fabs that serve mainstream semiconductor processes; quantum role is inferred from process-flow logic, not publicly confirmed. As qubit yields become commercially critical, KLA-style in-process metrology becomes essential for JJ defect detection. Quantum is negligible to KLA's ~$10B revenue. Low-confidence supply-chain inclusion — flagged as inferred, not disclosed.
