5 COPYRIGHT © D-WAVE Fast Anneal allows users to perform COHERENT QUANTUM ANNEALING by producing anneal times fast enough to avoid thermal excitations, a dominant source of decoherence It gives users a means to explore the impact of coherence and more directly leverage coherent regime dynamics Fast-anneal was KEY TO OUR RECENT QUANTUM SUPREMACY RESULTS as well as our work published in Nature in 2023 showing a scaling advantage of annealing quantum computing over several classical heuristics approaches The feature brings that same level of speed and extended control that led to our supremacy result to academic researchers and commercial customers NEW FAST-ANNEAL FEATURE: BRINGING CUSTOMERS UNPRECEDENTED SPEEDS Coherent quantum annealing in a programmable 2,000 qubit Ising chain. King, A.D. et al., Nat. Phys. 18 (2022) “We’re excited to put our most powerful feature into the hands of users, giving them access to extended quantum states inherent in annealing that, until now, have never been available outside D-Wave's lab.” — Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave
