D-Wave announces its next-gen quantum computing platform

I can't believe that no one commented on this yet but me...


This is pretty revolutionary, and is right on track with the expected doubling of qubits every few years...if not faster. D-Wave hasn't even went VLSI with this stuff yet (unless they are hiding something here regarding Pegasus...)

Do you guys even understand the magnitude of even 15 connections between qubits? It's likely going to hit 31 (or 32) after a few more processor iterations...and unless my math is way off base, that puts the connected complexity of the qubits on an order of magnitude that exceeds the number of atomic particles in the physical universe... Anyone care to fathom that one???



Granted, the processors are still going to need cryogenic temperatures that are 180 times colder than pure interstellar space, but just a few months ago, a patent for a new room temperature semiconductor was published (filed by the Navy), so there's hope on the horizon for new quantum processor architectures that are a lot less "physically demanding." Couple that (pun intended) with news...literally days ago...of using terahertz frequency light to accelerate supercurrents, and you just got yourself a really fast quantum computer...

This thread and discussion should really be pinned btw

Wrong. This thread is dim witted.

D-Wave, the well-funded quantum computing company, today announced its next-gen quantum computing platform with 5,000 qubits, up from 2,000 in the company’s current system. The new platform will come to market in mid-2020.

The company’s new so-called Pegasus topology connects every qubit to 15 other qubits, up from six in its current topology. With this, developers can use the machine to solve larger problems with fewer physical qubits — or larger problems in general.

Will it run GTA VI?

This is where terahertz light-induced supercurrents might help. There simply isn't enough time for noise or thermal effects to even occur...it even breaks symmetry. (There is still much room for research here, so don't expect true quantum processors for a little while.)

Im curious as to your opinion on whether you believe animals and insects carry out quantum calculations in what can be called a warm quantum computer? and if that means we can also build warm quantum computers in the future?
i watched that documentary on quantum biology suggesting a robin can navigate by seeing the earth's magnetic field utilizing quantum calculations inside its eye, and i also read that bees somehow know the shortest route from flower to flower that should take a supercomputer to figure out, but clearly they can do it in a much more efficient way.

they dont want to tell you but they broke the barrier of if it isnt there,the computer cant find it.when musk did the neural work,they created a program with an actual imagination.
thats why all the investment money pouring in like the niagra falls.
as for you thinking about bees at same time he was,the answer is right in front of your face.im not joking.shes that good.robo hugs sweetheart.

that needs energy, right?....

I don't know but I bet Windows 3.1 runs super fast on that shit!

IBM has one too!

Thread: IBM-Q : Cloud based quantum computing! (IBM reports that there are over 80,000 users of the IBM Q Experience)

I've added tutorials inside on how to write code that runs on those systems.

Once the superconductors "go superconducting" the electrons have no resistance, so at cryogenic temperatures, a quantum computer becomes a perpetual machine, in a way, until the temperature rises; mind you, that even pure interstellar space isn't even remotely close to being cold enough...for now.

Granted, the processors are still going to need cryogenic temperatures that are 180 times colder than pure interstellar space, but just a few months ago, a patent for a new room temperature semiconductor was published (filed by the Navy), so there's hope on the horizon for new quantum processor architectures that are a lot less "physically demanding."

No i dont understand it enough to know what each qbit connected to 15 others means for this type of Q computer.

I know they run the operation and look for a kind of lowest energy state, average type thing, which solves the optimization problem it was given. This is totally different to the way other lower Q-bit computers work. And it makes sense that D-wave can run these sort of operations in a noisy environment, where as other Q computers need absolute isolation and coherence and rely heavily on error correction.
Im not even a computer scientist of any type tho, i just read this stuff on the news.

I dont see how a room temp superconductor could help in a quantum computer. They need the cold to stop the particles vibrating and to lower the noise so they can get the quantum coherence and effects out of it.
