Google's quantum computer inches nearer after landmark performance breakthrough

#Google engineers have found a way to make the company's #D-Wave #quantumcomputer more scalable and capable of solving problems in multiple fields.

According to Nature, Google has created a device that blends analog and digital approaches to deliver enough quantum bits, or qubits, to create a scalable, multi-purpose quantum computer, capable of solving chemistry and physics problems by, for example, simulating molecules at the quantum level.

The analog approach, or adiabatic quantum computing (AQC), underpins the D-Wave quantum computer Google bought a few years ago. But, as Nature notes, errors can't be corrected as systematically as they can on digital circuits. This limitation introduces a scalability problem, since random noise generated by AQC causes more errors as the system increases in size.
