D-Wave is in the development of a new class of high performance computing system. These systems are architected around a processor that uses a computational model known as adiabatic quantum computing (AQC). These processors are fabricated using superconducting metals instead of semiconductors and are operated at ultra-low temperatures in a magnetic vacuum. They are designed explicitly to harness quantum mechanical effects to fundamentally and dramatically reduce the time and memory requirements for computation. The company is currently in the R&D phase of designing, fabricating, testing and operating AQCs and the software systems required to program and use them. Initially, D-Wave will target sales of systems to institutions who wish to conduct cutting edge research in experimental and theoretical quantum information science.
