Top performance
According to a release from D-Wave dated November 6, Advantage2 demonstrated substantial performance gains over its predecessor, the 5,000-qubit Advantage. This new model offers increased speed and one improved precisionsolving problems like 3D networks, common in materials science, up to 25,000 times faster. Moreover, he excels in solving problems requiring great precision, delivering solutions that are five times better.
Expertise in satisfiability problems
Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problems, essential for assessing a system's ability to handle complex decision tasks, have also seen notable improvement. The Advantage2 excels in 99% of tests of this type, asserting its superiority in a wide range of quantum applications. These tests are crucial for fields like cryptography and logistics, where quickly finding solutions that meet multiple constraints is vital.
Major advances in connectivity and consistency
Advantage2 doesn't just improve computing power. D-Wave also optimized three key aspects of its processor: coherence time, energy scaling and qubit connectivity. The coherence time, which measures how long qubits can maintain their quantum state without interference, has been doubled, allowing for more stable and precise calculations. The energy scale, for its part, increased by 40%which makes it possible to manage more complex calculations with greater stability.
Increased qubit connectivity
The improvement in qubit connectivity is particularly notable, going from 15 to 20 connections per qubit. This advancement allows the Advantage2 to tackling bigger and more complex problems than its predecessorsolidifying D-Wave’s position at the forefront of innovation in quantum computing.
The industry in shock
Industry experts, including Trevor Lanting, Director of Development at D-Wave, are excited about the newly calibrated processor performance. Lanting highlights that D-Wave's strategic focus on improving connectivity and consistency has paid off, delivering impressive results that promise to solve increasingly complex problems for the company's customers.
