D-Wave Lab Tour Part 1 (of 3) - The Infrastructure of the D-Wave Quantum Computer

Published on May 6, 2015


In this video we look at the different systems that make up a D-Wave quantum computer. We show what the cooling system involves, the electromagnetic shielding and how the electronics system programs the quantum processor.

Quantum computing, quantum supremacy, and a new Quantum Moore's Law with D-Wave CEO Alan Baratz

Dec 4, 2020


What changes when quantum computing is mainstream?

Quantum computing is on the far reaches of science, using technology that accesses aspects of matter at quantum scales where physics almost overlaps with magic.

Classical computing is simple: deterministic. You have something, or you have nothing. Quantum computing is complex: you can have something, or nothing, or both something and nothing at the same time. If that’s hard to wrap your head around, you’re in good company. Even Richard Feyman, 1965 Nobel Laureate in Physics and one of the founders of quantum computing famously said, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”

But we’re seeing major advancements in quantum computing today. You can now write a program and deploy it on quantum computers from anywhere. And D-Wave says that it's doubling qubits every 2 years.

In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier we’re chatting with Alan Baratz, president and CEO of D-Wave.
