D-Wave Demonstrates Large-Scale Programmable Quantum Simulation
Today D-Wave Systems announced the publication of a significant scientific result in the peer-reviewed journal Science. The article, titled "Phase transitions in a programmable spin glass simulator," details how a D-Wave 2000Q quantum computer was used to predict phase transitions within a particular quantum mechanical system known as the transverse field Ising model. "This work represents an important milestone for quantum computing, because it is the first time physics of this kind has been simulated in a scalable architecture at such a large scale," said Vern Brownell, CEO of D-Wave. "It also provides unprecedented validation for annealing quantum computing, which is the basis of D-Wave's quantum technology."
