"New research shows how quantum computing can be used effectively on real-world problems.
The big picture: Quantum is undoubtedly the next frontier in computing, but theory still outpaces practice.
What's happening: In a paper published in Nature Communications this week, researchers from the quantum computing company D-Wave and Google demonstrated that D-Wave's system could simulate a programmable quantum magnetic system more than 3 million times faster than corresponding classical methods."
