US-based computer manufacturer D-Wave Systems last week announced their most powerful quantum computer yet.

The new quantum computer contains a more capable 2000 qubit processor, a substantial increase from its predecessor the D-Wave 2X which contained a 1152 qubit processor. This 2000 qubit processor, according the company, will make the computer approximately 1000 times faster than the D-Wave 2X. Unlike classical computers, which rely on ones and zeros (bits),…
