The quantumprocessor of D-Wave would indeed quantum mechanical phenomena use mathematical problems to solve. A team of researchers has the processor been tested carefully and concluded that the processor is working quantumprocessor.
Although the Canadian company D-Wave all years, claims to be the world’s first working quantumprocessor to produce, turned out the proof of this is difficult to deliver. The processor in question, a chip code-named Rainier, was almost two years ago by a research institute USC-Lockheed Martin Quantum Computing Center purchased and put into operation. The Rainier processor would by now have been validated as quantumprocessor, says a group of researchers at the USC Viterbi Information Sciences Institute, where the quantum computer is housed. The results of the calculations of the computer would not correspond with the results of classical processors would give, but would correspond to quantum mechanical calculations.
The researchers used for their test, only eight of the honderdachtentwintig qubits of the D-Wave processor. They let the computer search for energy optimizations, where it seemed that a process that quantum annealing is called responsible for the outcome turned out. Classic calculation methods, other results have given. The Rainier processor would thus have been validated as quantumchip.
Quantumcomputers certain calculations much faster to perform than traditional processors. The quantumprocessor of D-Wave consists of 128 qubits, which, thanks to extreme cooling in a superconducting state. In the meantime, the company has a new chip developed from 512 qubits is constructed. The new chip, Vesuvius, the Rainier chip at the USC replaced and will also be a validation process to go through.
