How Quantum Computer can be 3 Million times Faster than Classical Computer

Scientists have demonstrated how quantum computer could function up to three million times faster than a classical computer. 

The study that was conducted by researchers from quantum computing D-Wave, established that using a procedure dubbed quantum annealing; they could simulate resources up to three million faster than it would yield with conforming classical methods.

The study was conducted by D-Wave together with a team of researchers from Google. The research finding concluded that quantum annealing processors had a comparative computational advantage as compared to classical central processing unit (CPU).

In the research, scientists provided clear evidence on how quantum effects can be harnessed to provide computational performance advantage.

 “This work is the clearest evidence yet that quantum effects provide a computational advantage in D-Wave processors,” stated the director of performance research at D-Wave, Andrew King. 

King and his team used D-Wave 2,000-qubit system to simulate exotic magnetism to design a programmable quantum magnetic system. Prior to the study, the system had been recently reviewed to reduce noise.

D-Wave’s processors are created by means of quantum annealing technology that is a quantum computing method used to solve optimization problems. D-Wave systems function almost the same way as physical systems which tend to progress towards their lowest energy states.
