D-Wave has completed calibrating and benchmarking its latest processor — a 4,400-plus-qubit behemoth that it claims is 25,000 times faster than its predecessor.
The Advantage2 quantum processing unit (QPU) is designed for complex applications including artificial intelligence (AI), materials science and optimization tasks. In a statement issued Nov. 6, D-Wave representatives said the new chip demonstrated "substantial performance gains" over its existing 5,000-qubit Advantage device, including improved speed and accuracy.
