- D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS, Financial) unveils the Advantage2, a highly advanced 4,400+ qubit annealing quantum computer.
- Advantage2 offers significant performance gains with enhanced coherence and qubit connectivity for complex problem-solving.
- The system is available now via D-Wave's Leap quantum cloud service and for on-premises integration by interested organizations.
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS), a pioneer in quantum computing technology, has announced the general availability of its sixth-generation quantum computing system, the Advantage2. Positioned as the Company's most advanced and energy-efficient system, the Advantage2 boasts over 4,400 qubits, offering substantial improvements in solving computationally complex problems beyond classical computing capabilities.
The system's enhanced features include a 40% increase in energy scale and a 75% reduction in noise. The new Zephyr™ topology provides 20-way qubit connectivity, facilitating the embedding of more complex problems. Additionally, the system offers a twofold increase in coherence for quicker time-to-solution, essential for applications across optimization, materials simulation, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Advantage2 is accessible through D-Wave's Leap™ real-time quantum cloud service, which ensures 99.9% availability and sub-second response times across more than 40 countries. For entities looking to integrate quantum computing into their existing infrastructure, the system is also available for on-premises deployment.
Early adopters of the Advantage2 prototype have already demonstrated its potential in diverse fields. A notable proof-of-concept project by Japan Tobacco utilized the system for quantum AI-driven drug discovery, while Los Alamos National Laboratory is prepared to leverage the full-scale system to extend its research in condensed matter theory.
With the Advantage2, D-Wave continues to expand its global presence of annealing quantum computers, ensuring that the system not only meets current industry demands but also sets a benchmark for future advances in quantum computing technology.
