D-Wave is the only company selling large quantum computers. It sold its first system in 2011 . The earlier D-Wave 2X™ quantum computing system featured a 1000+ qubit quantum processor and numerous design improvements that resulted in larger problem sizes, faster performance and higher precision. “Breaking the 1000 qubit barrier marks the …

The race to conquer the quantum domain is among the most fiercely competitive in today’s world of technology. One important quantum technology is Quantum key distribution (QKD), that establishes highly secure keys between distant parties by using single photons to transmit each bit of the key. Quantum cryptography is unbreakable …
