Quantum Computing and Parallel Universes (Eric Ladizinsky)
The founder of D-Wave is actually saying with a straight face that we can start to exploit parallel universes by reaching into them and pulling out their computing power. Just a few weeks ago, D-Wave announced the availability of a 2000-qubit quantum computer. So this notion of being able to access parallel universes using D-Wave quantum computing really isn’t so far fetched.

D-Wave Systems, the world’s first quantum computing company and Founder Geordie Rose is a notable figure who has been involved in multiple ventures in the field of quantum computing. In terms of the partnership with NASA, D-Wave entered into an agreement to install a succession of D-Wave systems at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California. This agreement was part of a collaboration among Google, NASA, and the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) dedicated to studying how quantum computing can advance artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the solution of difficult optimization problems.
Since 2013, scientists at Google, NASA, and USRA have been using D-Wave’s quantum computers to explore the potential for quantum computing and its applicability to a broad range of complex problems such as web search, speech recognition, planning and scheduling, air-traffic management, robotic missions to other planets, and support operations in mission control centers.
This partnership has led to significant milestones in the field of quantum computing. For instance, Google, in partnership with NASA and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, demonstrated the ability to compute in seconds what would take even the largest and most advanced supercomputers thousands of years, achieving a milestone known as quantum supremacy. This achievement is seen as a transformative step forward in the field of quantum computing.
how d-wave works
D-Wave’s quantum computer works based on a process called quantum annealing. In simpler terms, here’s the breakdown of that definition:
QUANTUM BITS (Qubits): Unlike classical computers that store information using bits represented by 0s or 1s, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, to encode information as 0s, 1s, or both at the same time. This superposition of states—along with the other quantum mechanical phenomena of entanglement and tunneling—enables quantum computers to manipulate enormous combinations of states at once.
QUANTUM ANNEALING D-Wave systems use quantum annealing to search for solutions to a problem. In nature, physical systems tend to evolve toward their lowest energy state. D-Wave starts a group of qubits in their lowest energy state and then gradually turns on interactions between the qubits, which encodes a quantum algorithm. When the qubits settle back down in their new lowest-energy state, D-Wave can read out the qubits to get the results.
HYBRID SOLVERS With D-Wave’s hybrid solver service, you can solve complex problems of up to 1,000,000 variables and 100,000 constraints. It automatically runs on quantum and classical resources based on D-Wave’s advanced algorithms.
FUTURE VISION D-Wave has undertaken a program that will build and deliver a scalable gate-model quantum computing technology. This will unlock new capabilities in the simulation of quantum systems, with applications in materials science and drug discovery.
