D-Wave claims “the world's first and only demonstration of quantum computing supremacy on a useful problem.” Peer-reviewed paper published in Science: “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation.” The D-Wave annealing quantum computer performs magnetic materials
Wall Street Journal
D-Wave claims it has achieved “quantum supremacy” with its quantum annealing processors; some physicists say classical computers can achieve comparable results
The company said classical computers can't beat its quantum computer in magnetic materials simulation. Some physicists disagree.

5. There is an onboard controller on the chip (green, to right) allowing for easy I/O. Microsoft expects ~1000 logical qubits on one chip (gold center) without changing form factor of the Majorana 1 module. Onboard wiring included! [image]
The Verge
Microsoft unveils the Majorana 1, its first quantum processor that uses the Majorana particle instead of electrons, that can potentially fit a million qubits
Microsoft has spent 17 years researching a new material and architecture for quantum computing.
6. Look how everything fits in Majorana 1 with this amazing zoom out animation by Microsoft. [video]

Consider the logical qubits coming from Quantinuum and other quantum computing companies in the next year or two. We are about to have machines that cannot be simulated by classical computers. [image]
Ars Technica
Microsoft says it has demonstrated, with Quantinuum, logical operations with the largest number of error-corrected qubits yet, and partners with Atom Computing
Microsoft Quantum and Quantinuum demonstrate the first combination of computation and error correction in quantum computing, creating 12 highly reliable logical qubits. Plus, HPC,...
