D-Wave Demonstrates First-Ever Coherent Quantum Spin Glass Dynamics on More than 5,000 Qubits

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 19, 2023

The paper---a collaboration between scientists from D-Wave and Boston University---entitled “Quantum critical dynamics in a 5,000-qubit programmable spin glass,” was published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature today and is available here. Building upon research conducted on up to 2,000 qubits last September, the study shows that the D-Wave quantum processor can compute coherent quantum dynamics in large-scale optimization problems. This work was done using D-Wave’s commercial-grade annealing-based quantum computer, which is accessible for customers to use today.

Key Points: 
  • The paper---a collaboration between scientists from D-Wave and Boston University---entitled “Quantum critical dynamics in a 5,000-qubit programmable spin glass,” was published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature today and is available here .
  • Building upon research conducted on up to 2,000 qubits last September, the study shows that the D-Wave quantum processor can compute coherent quantum dynamics in large-scale optimization problems.
  • With immediate implications to optimization, the findings show that coherent quantum annealing can improve solution quality faster than classical algorithms.
  • The observed speedup matches the theory of coherent quantum annealing and shows​ a direct connection between coherence and the core computational power of quantum annealing.
