SkyWater Technology, D-Wave Quantum announce quantum simulation published

SkyWater Technology (SKYT) and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) announced that D-Wave’s Advantage2 annealing quantum computer prototype, fabricated by SkyWater, was used to achieve computational supremacy in quantum simulation. The landmark research was published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in its journal, Science. The article details the work which demonstrates that D-Wave’s superconducting annealing quantum computing processors can efficiently solve problems beyond the practical reach of classical computers. The company said this breakthrough also underscores the vital role of U.S.-based manufacturing in advancing global technology leadership. The peer-reviewed paper, “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation,” confirms that D-Wave’s annealing quantum computer outperformed one of the world’s most powerful classical supercomputers in solving complex magnetic materials simulation problems with relevance to materials discovery.
