D-Wave Installs Quantum Computer in California

Canadian quantum computing company D-Wave Systems said on Thursday that it has deployed its latest quantum computer at the University of Southern California.

D-Wave’s most powerful machine, called the Advantage system, launched in September 2020 and is operating in Canada and Germany, said Murray Thom, vice president of product management at D-Wave.

US researchers and companies were able to access the system online, but the deployment will place a physical machine in the US and comes as Washington ramps up its support for quantum technology, he said.

The Advantage system has over 5000 qubits, or quantum bits, an indication of the power of the quantum computer. In the future, quantum computers are expected to be able to operate millions of times faster than today’s advanced supercomputers.

D-Wave, founded in 1999, said in February that it would go public by merging with blank check firm DPCM Capital in a deal that values ​​the combined company at nearly $1.6 billion.
