A new episode of our Quantum Matters podcast is live! Watch or listen here: https://t.co/KgUnKawiKI

In this episode, I speak with Dale Moore, President & CEO of Davidson Technologies, about bringing quantum computing to the national defense sector.

We discuss the work Davidson has done with D-Wave and Anduril to apply quantum computing to air and missile defense planning, why this type of optimization problem is such a strong fit for quantum computing, and the results that showed a quantum-powered solution outperforming a classical approach. Dale also explains the importance of housing a D-Wave Advantage2™ annealing quantum computing system at Davidson's Huntsville, Alabama headquarters and shares where he sees future opportunities for quantum across the public sector.

[D-Wave @dwavequantum]

Today, D-Wave announced a new gate-model roadmap designed to accelerate the development of commercial, fault-tolerant quantum computing. Targeting 100 logical qubits capable of successfully performing over one million operations by 2032, the roadmap combines D-Wave’s expertise in high-coherence dual-rail qubits and quantum error correction, with its proven ability to engineer, scale and commercialize superconducting quantum systems.

The roadmap, which will be shared in detail today at D-Wave’s first-ever Investor Day, outlines a progression of technical milestones designed to improve qubit fidelity, advance large-scale computations and support the development of commercially useful quantum applications.

Innovating with disruptive new technologies is challenging. But it's a challenge we must take on to ensure our security as technologies continue to advance. Dale Moore speaks to this in this upcoming episode of our Quantum Matters podcast.

Quantum computing is becoming a strategic imperative for national security.

Next week on the Quantum Matters podcast, host Murray Thom speaks with Davidson Technologies CEO Dale Moore about the role of quantum computing in defense and national security — including Davidson’s collaboration with Anduril on air and missile defense, and why he believes deploying a D-Wave Advantage2™ system at Davidson’s Huntsville, Alabama headquarters is critical to helping solve mission-critical U.S. government challenges.

@genejchan @Alan_Baratz @genejchan the @dwavequantum quantum supremacy still stands. The detailed analyses are available in these two links. Basically BP-TNS is good at some problems but not others.

D-Wave’s groundbreaking supremacy result HOLDS.

We took a few days to respond because we wanted to carefully review the Science version of the Tindall et al. paper and understand whether there were material extensions or changes beyond the arXiv version introduced over a year ago.

After that review, the conclusion is clear: the same technical limitations apply.

At the time the arXiv paper appeared and in the months that followed, D-Wave researchers and collaborators clearly demonstrated where the Tindall work falls short of overturning our supremacy result. The only major change in the work that has now been published in Science is the addition of large diamond lattice data. This supports the claim that they are using BP-TNS to extract a Kibble-Zurek exponent in a 3D system. But, the same criticisms apply as a year ago: They don’t compute the same observables, nor all the geometries, nor the largest size geometries, nor all the couplings computed by the D-Wave team. For pointers to more technical detail on the shortcomings of the Tindall work, see posts by my colleagues Andrew King and Trevor Lanting on LinkedIn today.

It does nobody any good to use click-bait titles that overstate reality, and it’s just as bad to repeat and promote claims that misrepresent the technical record. We should all hold ourselves to a higher standard.

This is fascinating work from @LosAlamosNatLab!

#QuantumRealized #QuantumComputing #BeyondClassical

[Alan Baratz @Alan_Baratz]

.@LosAlamosNatLab recently shared how our annealing quantum computers are contributing to scientific discovery at the lab. Their researchers showed how D-Wave technology can be used not only for optimization, but as a controllable experimental platform to study how complex systems evolve, retain memory, approach tipping points, and behave at scale. This body of work reinforces something we’ve long recognized: our quantum computing technology can deliver value today on high-impact problems, now. #QuantumComputing $QBTS

If you work in retail or supply chain, disruption is now part of day-to-day operations.

Demand can shift quickly and labor is often constrained. Transportation delays are common, and margins are under pressure. Many existing tools were not designed to handle this level of ongoing change.

Quantum-powered optimization offers a different way to approach these challenges. Rather than rebuilding plans from scratch each time conditions change, it can help you update routes, schedules, inventory, and fulfillment priorities more continuously. Working alongside existing systems, this approach can help support faster decisions and greater flexibility when responding to disruptions.

Join D-Wave experts and industry practitioners to learn:
→ How to assess whether quantum-powered optimization is a good fit for your organization
→ Practical ways to identify high-value use cases
→ What is involved in moving from proof of concept to implementation

Today, Physical Review A published our peer-reviewed paper "Blockchain with Proof of Quantum Work.”

The paper introduces a proof of quantum work consensus mechanism that could reduce blockchain electricity costs by up to 1,000x.

D-Wave scientists deployed the blockchain across four of our annealing quantum processors geographically distributed across North America, demonstrating stable operation across hundreds of thousands of quantum hashing operations.

Blockchain technology touches everything from supply chain management to healthcare and we're working with partners to bring products to market based on this new architecture.

@xyzdkfe @Alan_Baratz @grok You shouldn't be thinking about this implementing a transformer. You should be thinking about a transformer architecture hybridized with an RBM in the latent space for fast sampling from a complex learned distribution.
