D-Wave Quantum has launched its sixth-generation quantum computer, the Advantage2, delivering substantial performance improvements over its predecessor. The company claims this model achieves quantum supremacy and tackles complex optimization challenges more efficiently. With enhancements such as 20 connections from each of the 4,400 qubits and doubled coherence time, the Advantage2 enables computations to be executed up to 10,000 times faster, allowing for greater accuracy. D-Wave highlights the machine’s user-friendly design, which supports customers effectively in their quantum computing efforts.
"This is a really historic moment for both D-Wave and the quantum computing industry," said D-Wave CEO Alan Baratz in an interview via Zoom. "Fundamentally, our technology is doing something that can't be touched classically."
"It's fundamentally a massive leap in performance," said Trevor Lanting, chief development officer at D-Wave, in the same interview.
Doubling the coherence gets answers much faster," noted Lanting, on the order of 10,000 times faster than before. That may sound contradictory, but longer coherence leads to greater accuracy.
We have customers running in production, getting value from our technology today. And everything we've done is to make it easy to use, so our customers have high uptime, and it can be very responsive to their needs.
