D-Wave Completes Prototype of Next-Gen Quantum Processor

Today D-Wave Systems announced that the company has completed fabrication and testing of a working prototype next-generation processor, and the installation of a D-Wave 2000Q system for a customer. The prototype processor uses an advanced new architecture that will be the basis for D-Wave’s next-generation quantum processor. The D-Wave 2000Q system, the fourth generation of commercial products delivered by D-Wave, was installed at the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab run by Google, NASA, and Universities Space Research Association.

Video: Quantum Computing for the Real World Today

In this video from the International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research, Dr. Colin P. Williams from D-Wave Systems presents: Quantum Computing for the Real World Today. His focus for the talk centers around using quantum computing for machine learning. “We expect that quantum computing will lead to breakthroughs in science, engineering, modeling and simulation, healthcare, financial analysis, optimization, logistics, and national defense applications.”
