While I have no clue how they work in detail they offer 60 min express PCRs in Germany at least at my airport.
Also these guys in Canada offer 60- and 20-minute PCR tests: https://www.bonvoyagemedical.com/
Those are NAATs, which, while they are based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are not the same as PCR reported in the test. Plus, I'm unsure as to where you saw 20 minutes, the shortest I see offered there is 'whithin an hour'.

Seems to be FDA approved.

=> I will ignore the time needed to get the actual swabs to the laboratory and do the necessary paperwork etc and round this to ~2 hours of time available for testing.

See, unless my fellow countrymen have developed a way to do PCR tests 5 times faster than the fastest tests available in the (rest) of the world, this test in itself is a joke. This is the reason PCR testing: costs, is usually indicated by symptoms already present/positive antigen test.
You're welcome.
Take care
