Quoted from Venture Beat, Friday (12/11/2015), for quantum computing, D-Wave is a machine that is closest to us. This machine works with quantum bits or qubits instead of other conventional bits.
Qubit superposition allows the machine to make computing in large numbers simultaneously. This makes a quantum computer that is highly anticipated for some specific processes for specific purposes.
In two tests, Google Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab announced that it has discovered, the D-Wave machine can be much faster than simulated annealing, quantum computing simulation on a classical computer chip.
Google Engineering Director, Hartmut Neven, said the test results in a post on the official blog of Google Research.
"We found that for the case of problems involving nearly 1,000 binary variables, quantum annealing significantly exceeded classical computer, which simulated annealing. It is 100 million times faster than the simulated annealing running on one core," said Neven.
Google also compare other hardware quantum algorithm called Quantum Monte Carlo. It is a method that is designed to mimic the behavior of a quantum system, but runs on a conventional processor, said Neven.
While the scale with the size between the two methods is comparable, they again separated by a large factor, sometimes as high as 100 million.
Commercial application of this technology may not take place overnight, but perhaps this technology led to the increased speed for many things, such as image recognition, which is placed at the service of Google. Not only that, this technology could also be useful for traditional things like cleaning dirty data.
Outside of Google, the increased speed offered by this technology could translate into improvements for the planning and scheduling as well as air traffic management, said David Bell, director of research for Computer Science Advanced Research Association Space University, which is also involved in Technology D-Wave this.
