Google: Our quantum computer is 100 million times faster than a conventional system
Ever since quantum computer manufacturer D-Wave announced that it had created an actual system, there have been skeptics. The primary concern was that D-Wave hadn’t built a quantum computer as such, but instead constructed a system that happened to simulate a quantum annealer — one specific type of quantum computing that the D-Wave performs — more effectively than any previous architecture. Earlier reports suggested this was untrue, and Google has now put such fears to rest.
