The Science Behind D-Wave
Every day new research and experimentation pushes the science behind quantum computing ahead. D-Wave scientists are leaders and active participants in the elite community of quantum experts driving this entirely new industry.
An Industry-First Quantum Computing Milestone
Our scientific breakthrough published in the esteemed journal Science, confirms that our annealing quantum computer outperformed one of the world’s most powerful classical supercomputers in solving a complex magnetic materials simulation problem with relevance to materials discovery. The D-Wave Advantage2 annealing quantum computer performed a magnetic materials simulation in minutes that would have taken nearly one million years and more than the world’s annual electricity consumption to solve using classical supercomputers built with GPU clusters.
From Theory to Validation
From developing new theories to proving entanglement, our research spans the quantum landscape. Our work has been featured in prestigious publications like Science and Nature.
It Takes a Village
As one of the most exciting areas of research, quantum inspires scientists around the world to explore D-Wave's technology. From practical applications like traffic optimization, to measuring quantum speedup, to finding the Higgs boson again, researchers are publishing new papers that moves us all forward.
