In a timely fashion, a day before its Q4 earnings report, D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) has proved its quantum computer can solve a real-world

D-Wave Quantum Inc. said today a peer-reviewed scientific paper proves it has finally passed a critical threshold and achieved “quantum supremacy” — that is, the point at which its quantum computers have finally solved a problem that’s impossible for even the most powerful “classical” computers to do.

Quantum computing firm D-Wave claims it has demonstrated quantum supremacy on a “useful, real-world problem.” The company said the achievement was made using D-Wave’s Advantage2 prototype annealing quantum computer. Quantum supremacy is when a quantum computer can carry out calculations that classical computers practically cannot.

The company says it has solved the first problem of scientific relevance with a quantum processor faster than could be done with classical computers—but others disagree

Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) ("D-Wave" or the "Company"), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced a scientific breakthrough published in the esteemed journal Science,

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) said it has achieved "quantum computational supremacy" by being the first company to achieve real-world results with its annealing quantum computer.

Shares of some quantum computing companies rallied on Thursday, adding to gains from the previous session and bucking the broader market's trend after D-Wave Quantum forecast stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue.

Key Takeaways D-Wave and other quantum computing stocks soared Wednesday after the company claimed to achieve a breakthrough.D-Wave said its quantum computer outperformed one of the world's most powerful classical supercomputers.

D-Wave is the latest quantum computing company to say it has achieved “quantum supremacy,” better known as the ability to solve a problem with a quantum computer that can’t be done with a traditional computer.
