D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) Demonstrates Quantum Supremacy on a Real-World Problem

D-Wave has shown quantum computational supremacy on a useful, real-world problem, a first in the industry, highlighting the potential of quantum computing for materials discovery and complex simulations beyond classical computational limits. A peer-reviewed paper published in Science validates that D-Wave’s annealing quantum computer solved a magnetic materials simulation problem that is beyond the capabilities of classical supercomputers. The simulation, which took minutes to solve on D-Wave’s system, would require nearly one million years and more electricity than the world’s annual consumption on a GPU-based supercomputer. The Advantage2 annealing quantum computer prototype was used to achieve this milestone and is…
