#D-Wave, a Canadian company developing the first commercial “ #quantumcomputer ,” announced its next-generation quantum annealing computer with 2,000 #qubits, which is twice as many as its previous generation had. History Of D-Wave D-Wave was created more than a decade ago, when it first developed a 16-qubit prototype. The company unveiled its 28-qubit version publicly for the first time in 2007. Since then, its increased its number of qubits at a steady pace, more than doubling every two years or so. In 2013, the company announced its 512-qubit computer and a collaboration between #Google and #NASA, who were going to test various algorithms on it and see how fast it could get compared to conventional computers. Last year, D-Wave announced a 1,000-qubit generation, and now the company is previewing its 2,000-qubit computer, which will likely go on sale next year.
