D-Wave Riding The Dual-Rail For Its Gate-Model Quantum Ambitions
Get smart on it
D-Wave is a quantum computing company that already has a growing business selling quantum systems, unlike many competitors still developing their technology. The company recently acquired another firm's dual-rail error correction technology to build gate-model quantum systems, which are a different approach from the annealing systems D-Wave currently sells. Dual-rail qubits detect errors directly in the hardware itself, potentially allowing the company to build fault-tolerant quantum computers with fewer physical qubits than competitors require. D-Wave's timeline includes releasing increasingly powerful systems over the next several years, with the goal of reaching 100 logical qubits capable of supporting commercial applications by the early 2030s.
