Dwave adiabatic quantum system can factor numbers up to 200,000 and a lot larger likely in the 40 bit range

by

There are adiabatic factoring algorithms and methods. Dwave is focused on optimization problems, however the system can be used to solve other problems including factoring. In November 2014, it was discovered that this 2012 adiabatic quantum computation had also factored larger numbers, the largest being 56153. A paper in 2016 discussed factoring with Dwave using …

After quantum dominance, a surge in quantum computer investment, boosts to AI and overall technological progress and a quantum AI singularity

by

Some researchers are predicting that the market for “universal” quantum computers that do everything a supercomputer can do plus everything a supercomputer can not do — in a chip that fits in the palm of your hand — are on the verge of emerging. This would mean “quantum dominance”. This is where quantum computers exceed …

Dwave Quantum annealing compared to other algorithms and their approach versus cleaner qubits

by

Scott Aaronson discusses the recent Dwave – Google Quantum conputer work. In computer science, normally we care about asymptotic speedup: We care about, “What is your running time as a function of the size of the problem? Does it grow linearly? Does it grow quadratically?” The constant that’s in front — Does it take 5N …
