D-Wave's claim that its quantum computers can solve problems that would take hundreds of years on classical machines have been undermined by two separate research groups showing that even an ordinary

D-Wave is about to make waves. The quantum computing firm announced on Wednesday that, for the first time, it was able to “successfully simulate the properties of magnetic materials” using its Advantage2 annealing quantum computer,

D-Wave Quantum Inc. said today a peer-reviewed scientific paper proves it has finally passed a critical threshold and achieved “quantum supremacy” — that is, the point at which its quantum computers have finally solved a problem that’s impossible for even the most powerful “classical” computers to do.
