D-Wave Demonstrates Large-Scale Coherent Quantum Annealing

…[D-Wave] Published a peer-reviewed milestone study of the first large-scale demonstration of coherent quantum annealing…

…The research exhibits, for the first time, dynamics of a quantum phase transition in a large-scale programmable quantum annealing processor using up to 2000 qubits in a D-Wave processor… 

…This demonstration goes beyond the scale of any previous programmable quantum phase transition, opening the door to simulations of exotic phases of matter (unusual states of matter, outside of liquid, solid or gas, that make up the universe) that would otherwise be intractable…
