D-Wave Quantum Annealing systems are providing real business value to Mastercard and other companies. Steve Flinter of Mastercard presented a live demos of quantum-hybrid applications. The live demo showcased the technology’s applicability and potential impact in the financial services industry, with an application for customer loyalty and rewards programs. Mastercard is able to use D-Wave …
D-Wave Systems was trying to raise about $300 million from a SPAC. D-Wave was hoping the completion of the merger with DPCM Capital would grant it access to a trust account worth $300 million, assuming that there were no redemptions by shareholders, but the company disclosed in a recent filing with US regulators that the …
D-Wave Systems revealed their next-generation quantum computing platforms will include both annealing and gate-model quantum computers. This is a significant shift because they were the pioneers in quantum computing but used something like an analog computer, called an annealer. D-Wave is responding to major competition with billion-dollar valuations and hundreds of millions in funding. IonQ …
D-Wave Systems Inc., the leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, today published a milestone study in collaboration with scientists at Google, demonstrating a computational performance advantage, increasing with both simulation size and problem hardness, to over 3 million times that of corresponding classical methods. Notably, this work was achieved on a practical application …
D-Wave Systems has released a Quantum Annealer with over 5000 qubits. They have over 250 applications that can be run on the system. The chip uses over 1 million superconducting Josephson junctions. Venture Capitalist billionaire, Steve Jurvetson, had been on the board of D-Wave for 17 years. He provides a chart showing the qubit scaling …
Users have developed 200+ early quantum applications on D-Wave systems, including airline scheduling, election modeling, quantum chemistry simulation, automotive design, preventative healthcare, logistics, and much more. On Feb 27, 2020 D-Wave announced the immediate availability of Leap 2, the first quantum cloud service designed for developers and organizations to easily build and deploy real-world hybrid …
D-Wave has been selling quantum annealing computers since 2010 and customers have built over 150 early applications on D-Wave computers. They currently sell a 2000 qubit quantum annealer but should have a 5000-5600 qubit system available in about 15 months. The new system will have the new Pegasus architecture which will increase connections from 6 …
D-Wave Systems has shown its new 5000 qubit quantum annealing system that uses a vastly improved Pegasus architecture. Nextbigfuture wrote about the Pegasus architecture and the 5,640 qubit D-Wave prototype back in mid-January. D-Wave has now officially announced the 5000+ qubit system and the new architecture. The next-generation D-Wave quantum platform will include ongoing updates …
The first Exaflop supercomputers are just scaling up with energy efficient modifications the technologies that have enabled the 100-200 petaFlop supercomputers. Super Cool Technologies Beyond the Exaflop Supercomputer DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) has started making petaflop supercomputers that are much more energy efficient by switching to dielectric liquids for cooling. They are cutting energy usage and …
Pegasus is the first fundamental change in D-Wave’s architecture since the D-Wave One. The D-Wave Two, 2X, and 2000Q all used the Chimera architecture, which had unit cells of K4,4 graphs. D-Wave machines added more qubits but the cells and architecture were mostly the same. The Pegasus graph allows each qubit to couple to 15 …
D-Wave Systems announced a developer preview of D-Wave Hybrid™, a simple, open-source hybrid workflow platform for building and running quantum-classical hybrid applications. D-Wave Hybrid will become part of the Ocean software development kit within D-Wave’s Leap™ Quantum Application Environment (QAE) and is available at https://github.com/dwavesystems/dwave-hybrid for trial and developer input. The D-Wave Hybrid framework provides …
