D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) today announced a quantum advance published in the journal Science, confirming that its annealing quantum
The article from InsideHPC discusses a study by D-Wave, a quantum computing company, which claims to have achieved quantum supremacy in a specific materials simulation problem. According to the report, D-Wave's quantum annealing technology outperformed classical high-performance computing (HPC) systems, including exascale supercomputers, in solving a complex optimization problem related to materials science. The study focused on a problem involving the simulation of material properties, where the quantum system was able to find solutions much faster than traditional HPC methods. This development suggests that quantum computing could potentially offer significant advantages in certain computational tasks, particularly those involving optimization and simulation, potentially heralding a new era in computational materials science. However, the article also notes that while this is a significant milestone, the scope of quantum supremacy remains narrow, and classical systems still excel in many other areas of computation.
