Quantum annealers are entering a new era of technology. The “Advantage 1” quantum annealer, developed by D-Wave Systems Inc. with the “Pegasus” topology, is currently the largest quantum computer in the world. Quantum annealing, a specialized variant of simulated annealing that utilizes quantum properties, offers a wide array of opportunities to address NP-hard problems. We are now on the verge of the release of the “Advantage 2” quantum annealer, which features the “Zephyr” topology. In this paper, our objective is to evaluate the new topolgy using the Advantage2 prototype and compare it with the Advantage 1. Additionally, we will compare the performance of the Advantage 2 prototype using quantum-restricted Boltzmann machines (QRBMs) with that of classical restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), as well as the Advantage1 quantum annealer and hybrid solvers, on the MNIST Handwritten Digit Classification task. The goal of this work is to benchmark the performance of the Advantage 2 prototype.

摘要

Quantum annealers are entering a new era of technology. The “Advantage 1” quantum annealer, developed by D-Wave Systems Inc. with the “Pegasus” topology, is currently the largest quantum computer in the world. Quantum annealing, a specialized variant of simulated annealing that utilizes quantum properties, offers a wide array of opportunities to address NP-hard problems. We are now on the verge of the release of the “Advantage 2” quantum annealer, which features the “Zephyr” topology. In this paper, our objective is to evaluate the new topolgy using the Advantage2 prototype and compare it with the Advantage 1. Additionally, we will compare the performance of the Advantage 2 prototype using quantum-restricted Boltzmann machines (QRBMs) with that of classical restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), as well as the Advantage1 quantum annealer and hybrid solvers, on the MNIST Handwritten Digit Classification task. The goal of this work is to benchmark the performance of the Advantage 2 prototype.
