No, they are not comparable. There are gate-model quantum computers like the one described in the article, and there are quantum annealers from companies like D-Wave that are geared toward solving a type of problem called QUBO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_unconstrained_binary_optimization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_unconstrained_binary... The latter has released quantum computers with thousands of qubits, but these qubits are not comparable with the physical qubits in a gate-model computer (and especially not with logical qubits from one).
