Forschungszentrum Jülich Becomes First High-Performance Computing Center to Own a D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) Advantage System
Forschungszentrum Jülich scientists have already leveraged D-Wave's technology for research on protein folding, electron interactions and quantum physics. The Advantage™ system features over 5,000 qubits and 15-way connectivity, advancing quantum optimization research. The quantum system will be linked to JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale supercomputer, potentially enabling novel computational applications. The system will be upgraded to D-Wave’s next-generation Advantage2™ quantum processor when available, which D-Wave expects will deliver doubled coherence time, higher qubit connectivity and 40% improvement in energy scaling. The collaboration is anticipated to take the use of quantum technology to a new level, according to Prof. Kristel Michielsen, head…
