"D-Wave Systems is getting ready to roll out its next quantum annealing computer, a system that will encompass more than 5,000 low-noise qubits, as well as a new topology to connect them. These refinements, the company says, will enable it to solve bigger, more complex problems than are possible in its current 2000Q system and broadens the commercial use of quantum annealing. If all goes as planned the new system, which the company has named “Advantage,” will be available to customers sometime in the middle of next year.
According to Alan Baratz, D-Wave’s chief product officer and executive vice president of research and development, Advantage’s 5,000+ qubits more than doubles the number in the 2000Q, a system initially released in 2017."
