Google and NASA developed computers 100 million times more powerful than conventional computers

Google and NASA claim that the D-Wave 2X quantum computer they have co-researched two years ago has achieved processing power of more than 1000 qubits, making it 100 million times faster than problem solving Today's computers and even in the same problem , if normal computers take 10,000 years to complete, now, D-Wave 2X only takes 1 second.

Successfully build powerful quantum computers more than 100 million times normal computers

Remember two years ago, Google and NASA worked together to study the D-Wave quantum computer to look at its performance compared to conventional computers. After a lot of investment efforts, research at the recent event held at NASA Ames Research Center, they claimed to have successfully developed D-Wave 2X , which can solve specific problems with mass. Extremely big information.

In a concrete example of an 945-related binary optimization problem, D-Wave 2X can solve 100 million times faster than a classic single-core computer. At the same time, they also use D-Wave 2X to perform a Monte Carlo method (a quantum tunnel simulation algorithm on a regular computer) and the results show that it can speed up 100 million times in the same problem.

Hartmut Neven, head of Google's quantum artificial intelligence laboratory, said the result was "very attractive and encouraging" but still had to do more research in the future to improve the ability. apply into reality. It should be noted, however, that the D-Wave computer is only made for specific tasks. On the other hand, until now, the research team has not yet published more information about the power of D-Wave 2X and how they concluded its capacity.
