Dwave Quantum machine goes in search of the Higgs boson

D-Wave system shows quantum computers can learn to detect particle signatures in mountains of data, but doesn’t outpace conventional methods — yet. A team has shown that a quantum circuit can learn to sift through reams of data from atom-smashing experiments in search of a new particle. Their proof-of-principle study — performed using a machine …

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

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 …

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

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 …
