Google, NASA Upgrade To The New D-Wave 2000Q Quantum Annealing Computer

#DWave announced that #Google, #NASA, and the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) have upgraded their 1,000- #qubit D-Wave 2X #quantumannealing computer to the latest 2,000-qubit D-Wave 2000Q. The new computer is supposed to be up to 1,000 times faster than the last generation for certain optimization problems. Google And NASA Collaboration Back in 2013, Google, NASA, and USRA announced a joint research lab called the #QuantumArtificialIntelligence Laboratory (QuAIL). The three organizations would use D-Wave’s latest quantum annealing computer at the time (the 512-qubit D-Wave Two) to “assess the potential of quantum computers to perform calculations that are difficult or impossible using conventional #supercomputers .”
