Baratz claims rival quantum modalities cannot match D-Wave's speed and fidelity
“Frankly, I don't know how the other modalities compete at this point because they don't have the speed that our qubits have. I also don't know how the other superconducting companies compete because they don't have the fidelity. Error correction is going to be…”
Baratz calls industry claims of achieving logical qubits highly misleading
“You'll hear people say, oh, we have logical qubits. We have this many logical qubits. I want to be kind. That is a very misleading statement. These are not fully error-corrected qubits. They are small error correction. The number of compute terms that they can…”
Baratz claims all other quantum computing companies remain purely in R&D
“Unlike any other quantum computing company, which is entirely In the R&D and research experimentation mode, we have commercial systems, so we're also focused on building the business.”
Baratz predicts quantum computing will demonstrate AI energy efficiency by 2027
“I think we will start to see this benefit emerge this year or early next year.”
Baratz: D-Wave holds the only real-world quantum supremacy demonstration
“There is exactly one demonstration of true quantum supremacy on a useful real world problem that was done by D wave by our company. It was published in the peer reviewed journal science about a year ago. What we did was we demonstrated that our quantum compute…”
Baratz: Quantum Circuits' error-detecting superconducting qubits will win architecture race
“So we now have superconducting qubits that are a thousand times faster than trapped ion or neutral atom, but because of their inherent error detecting capability, they have qubit fidelity, just like trapped ion and neutral atom. Ah, that's the best of both wor…”
D-Wave's $10 million contract is quantum's first large enterprise deal
“This is the first large Enterprise deal, I believe ever for quantum computing, certainly for D-Wave”
D-Wave simulates magnetic materials in 20 minutes versus a million classical years
“We demonstrated an example of that, ah, early last year when we showed that we could simulate properties of magnetic materials to aid in new, ah, materials design that could be done on our quantum computer in 20 minutes, but it would take nearly a million year…”
Quantum Circuits' qubits match trapped-ion fidelity at 1,000 times superconducting speed
“We are talking about superconducting qubits, so it's the speed of superconducting, thousand times faster than the other modalities, but it has the fidelity of trapped ions or neutral atoms, very high quality qubits, making it much easier to error correct, much…”
Baratz argues no company currently operates a commercial gate-model quantum computer
“Gate model quantum computers are not yet commercial. Nobody today has commercial gate model quantum computers.”
Commercial gate-model quantum computers remain several years and 100 logical qubits away
“Not until we get to the hundred logical qubits will these systems actually become commercial. So we still have a few years to go before we say that.”
D-Wave claims quantum computing delivers faster AI training with lower power
“The early evidence
From our work with Shinogi indicates that there is an ability for quantum to deliver better, faster trained models and aid in reducing power consumption.”
Baratz: D-Wave Advantage2 is the only commercially deployed quantum computer
“Our current generation annealing quantum computer, it's called Advantage two,
It's a 4500 qubit quantum computer.
It's the largest and most powerful computer in the world.
it does not require, nor does it have error correction, but yet, as I said, it's the on…”
Baratz: Shionogi uses D-Wave quantum hardware to accelerate drug-discovery LLMs
“Well, we at D-Wave have the first commercial example of that. It's work that we did with a company called Shinogi. They developed a large language model for generating molecular structures. And they're looking for new molecular structures that are well suited …”
Baratz: Error-corrected gate-model quantum computers are 7 to 10 years away
“We think we're looking at seven to 10 years to get to the point where we have Truly error corrected scaled gate model, quantum computers that are capable of doing things like Helping you develop designer drugs, a drug designed for you to dramatically improve y…”
D-Wave acquires Quantum Circuits to expand into gate-model quantum computing
“Within the last couple of weeks, we did announce that we have acquired quantum circuits which brings revolutionary new gate model technology to D-Wave, and we believe accelerates us to the forefront of gate model computing alongside the fact that we're already…”
D-Wave quantum computers cut emergency service response times in half
“Leveraging our quantum computers, response time was cut in half, and that really does save lives.”
Baratz says industry promises of a million qubits lack credibility
“A million cubits in three years. I mean, it doesn't quite even pass the red face test.”
Baratz: Quantum computing is fundamentally energy-efficient computing
“Quantum computing is energy efficient computing for solving very hard computational problems. And I say energy efficient computing because quantum computers consume very little electricity, and yet they are very powerful.”
Baratz: Specific quantum problems will always require annealing versus gate-model architectures
“So we have a bifurcation in the application environment today where there are problems that will always require annealing.
There are problems that will always require gait.”
Baratz: BASF cut scheduling runtime from 10 hours to seconds via D-Wave
“Leveraging our quantum computers, they have been able to reduce the time required to do the production scheduling from what was 10 hours down to seconds.”
Baratz: NTT Docomo supports up to 10% more phones per tower using D-Wave
“Another example is a large mobile carrier in Japan, NTT Docomo, has used our quantum computers to optimize cell tower resources. Basically, how the cell towers interact with the mobile phones to essentially determine which towers should be in control as the ph…”
Baratz credits Rob Schoelkopf with developing all superconducting qubits used today
“I mean, frankly, all of the superconducting qubits that are in use today across everybody building superconducting systems were developed by Rob Shulkoff, right? Transmine qubit.”
Baratz: D-Wave is the only company developing both annealing and gate systems
“And D-Wave,
A very important point that I'm now about to make is the only company in the world with a dual platform strategy and plan.
What I mean by that is we're the only company in the world developing both annealing and gate model quantum computers to addr…”
