D-Wave shows 4400 qubit annealing quantum processor
D-Wave in Canada has completed the calibration and benchmarking of a 4,400+ qubit annealing processor.
The Advantage2 will be key to D-Wave’s ongoing development of its sixth-generation annealing quantum computing system with a substantial performance boost over the current Advantage system for optimization, AI, and materials science.
Recent performance benchmarks demonstrate that the 4,400+ qubit Advantage2 processor is computationally more powerful than the current Advantage system, solving a range of problems – including 3D lattice problems common in materials science – 25,000 times faster. The processor also delivers five times better solutions on problems requiring a high degree of precision.
The qubit connectivity has increased from 15 to 20-way connectivity to enable solutions to larger problems. The 4400 qubit device is up from 1200 qubits shown in January.
“Our strategic decision to focus development efforts on enhancing the connectivity and coherence of our next annealing quantum computing system has proven successful,” said Trevor Lanting, chief development officer at D-Wave. “We’re thrilled with the performance of our recently calibrated processor, and we believe this technology will deliver amazing results for our customers, solving bigger and more complex problems.”
