What better way to celebrate four years and 100 episodes of The Post-Quantum World than to talk about an achievement we’ve all been waiting for. If you’ve been watching quantum news feeds, you might have heard of the D-Wave supremacy paper published in Science. Using an Advantage 2 system, D-Wave has performed a useful task for materials science faster and with less power consumption than a classical supercomputer. Researchers have tried to challenge this, but the results seem to be holding up. Has the team at D-Wave really done it? Are quantum computers finally passing the threshold into true utility? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat about this remarkable achievement with CEO Alan Baratz and CDO Trevor Lanting from D-Wave. For more on D-Wave, visit www.dwavesys.com/ .
