D-Wave is delivering on the value of quantum computing today. Our powerful systems are fueling customers’ quantum and hybrid-quantum applications in diverse sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, life sciences, financial services and more.
Skeptics speculate that quantum’s value will be realized in 15, 20, or even 30 years, but the reality is useful quantum computing is accessible for your organization with D-Wave.
To the Quantum Computing Skeptics, Enthusiasts, and Undecideds
D-Wave CEO, Dr. Alan Baratz, published a letter in The Wall Street Journal to address misconceptions about quantum computing and educate the market about its near-term commercial viability.
Quantum Realized Framework
D-Wave has developed a clear framework that deflates the hype, helping you develop an informed position on quantum. The framework consists of three simple benchmarks to consider when assessing a particular quantum company’s value.
01. Technology
The company provides quantum technology that is remarkably better or faster at solving computationally complex problems than a classical computer alone.
02. Availability
Its quantum systems are highly performant, highly reliable and highly available.
03. Commercial
It has proven commercial customer successes in proof-of-concepts and in-production application deployment.
01. Technology
Going Beyond Classical Computing
Our technology can solve important problems that are out of the reach of classical computers—with clear demonstrations of our system’s outperformance. A solution to a complex materials simulation problem was achieved in 20 minutes on our system. It would take more than one million years on one of the world’s largest and most powerful supercomputers, which happens to be a massively paralleled GPU system.
