I think the jury will remain out on this one for the next few generations of D-wave computers. If by the time it reaches 2k-4k qubits, they still can't prove without a doubt that it's at least a special form of quantum computing, then I guess then we'll have our final answer.
- cdibona 13y agoFrom what we've seen (on the nasa/google installation) we're seeing quantum operation, but yes, once we see 2k qubit chips (which we hope happens within the year) that's when we'll know about whether there is an actual advantage vs scalar processors for annealing problems. This is one of the reasons we're all going round and round on proving 'quantumness' so that when we get a processor with more qubits we can predict and test that it is indeed all that an a bag of chips.
