Slick, thank you!

Any recommendations for the DAC? I'm using a USB sound card right now on my Volumio Pi but haven't been thrilled about it. What I really want is SPDIF coaxial or optical output, on the cheap.

For anyone else who wants to do this, just set up the absolutely amazing Volumio on your RPi or any other computer. https://volumio.org/ The web app is great for use in your house, the Spotify plugin is first class - it&#x2

Great site, I've shared it internally to some folks here at D-Wave!

Apply! We have plenty of job openings. Physics and electrical engineering backgrounds are critical for some teams, but for other teams it's not as important. This is a wonderful time to be a younger person in the industry; there are to

There are a few hydrogen power stations up here in Vancouver, but still not enough to make a Mirai practical for many people. I've seen a few driving around but I suspect they're all demo cars... Hydrogen fuel cells make way more

I'm sitting thirty feet away from one, friend. It exists. The pulse tube cooler is making a comforting squelchy sound. There is more entropy in your post.

You can access a quantum computer - to be precise, a quantum _annealer_ right now, for free, via D-Wave Leap. It may not be gate model, but it does compute using quantum effects, and it is useful for optimization problems, materials researc

Surprised to see an entire article about Ising model problems without any mention of the machines designed to solve them! This is exactly the kind of problems that the D-Wave quantum computers are designed to run, and in fact simulations of

You cannot yet get a guarantee of 1 logical gate-model qubit, no, but Amazon Braket will let you submit problems to D-Wave machines right now, with >5000 annealing qubits available. D-Wave is seeing really promising results with optimiza

The problem there is that heat is noise, and the balmy 300 Kelvin environment next to my workstation is a very noisy place indeed. So far, qubits seem to demonstrate the ability to actually be in a superposition of states only when we get t

I just wanted to extend my thanks for this new feature, it will be really, really appreciated. We have Grafana monitoring everything from your usual cloud stuff, down to the temperatures of cryogenic fridges. Being able to configure alerts

The largest production quantum computer that exists today - as in, the largest you personally can get access to - has 5,436 qubits: the D-Wave Advantage system. Admittedly, it's not a gate-model machine that can run Shor's Algorit

Admittedly, it's not a gate-model system, but at D-Wave we've been able to scale up to 5,000+ qubits now, and the future is promising for further advancements in qubit count, noise, and other advanced features. The gate-model syst

At D-Wave, we have a software stack that (no surprise) is entirely Linux based to talk to the QPU. After all, we expect users of classical computers to formulate and submit problems over a classical Internet using classical APIs, and we exp

At D-Wave, our cloud-accessible QPUs are entirely available to one user at a time, in the form of "problems" that are submitted to a "solver" stack to load onto the QPU and sample in order to get an answer. This ends up
