This research demonstrates that state-of-the-art quantum annealing hardware with over 5,000 qubits and enhanced connectivity now achieves significantly higher accuracy (0.013% improvement) and dramatically faster solving times (6,561× speedup) compared to classical optimization methods on large-scale, dense combinatorial problems, finally realizing the long-promised quantum advantage for real-world applications.
D-Wave Systems has published a milestone study in collaboration with scientists at Google, demonstrating a computational performance advantage, increasing with both simulation size and problem hardness, to over 3 million times that of corresponding classical methods.
