"In the current model of the D-Wave chip, there are 1,000 or so qubits [quantum bits], but they’re organized into clusters of eight qubits each." "what the Google paper finds is that Selby’s algorithm, which runs on a classical computer, totally outperforms the D-Wave machine on all the instances they tested." Now they've just made a machine of twice as much qubits but is there any performance advantage compared to the code run on the classical computer?
