Advantage2 (quantum processor)

2024: Product Announcement

In early November 2024, D-Wave Quantum unveiled the world's first commercial quantum computer with more than 4,400 qubits. The manufacturer has completed the calibration and comparative analysis of the Advantage2 processor with promising results: the new processor shows a significant increase in performance compared to the current Advantage system in solving complex computing tasks of customers in areas such as optimization, AI and materials science.

Recent performance tests show that the Advantage2 processor with 4400 + qubits is capable of solving 3D lattice problems common in materials science 25,000 times faster than the previous Advantage system. The processor is also five times faster at solving problems that require a high degree of accuracy. In addition, it surpasses the current Advantage system in 99% of tests for feasibility problems, which expands the possibilities of using quantum computers.

Compared to the current Advantage system, the Advantage2 processor has twice the qubit coherence time, which speeds up the search for a solution, 40% higher power consumption, and Qubit connectivity is increased from 15 to 20 communication channels to solve larger problems.

Our strategic decision to focus on improving the connectivity and consistency of the quantum computing system has been successful, "said Trevor Lanting, D-Wave's development director. "We are excited about the performance of our recently calibrated processor and believe that this technology will provide amazing results for our customers, allowing us to solve larger and more complex problems. The milestone marks a significant step forward in the development of sixth-generation annealing quantum computing systems.[1]
