FG: “If successful we might use existing commercial machines with an integrated chip”
...this statement (may) refer to dwave’s quantum annealing hardware, using D-Waves powerful “commercially available machines” - quantum simulators. “Using optimiser platforms: quantum annealing hardware based on D-wave simulators and a new class of gain-dissipative simulators.
Additionally “3 orders of magnitude”
...Three-orders of magnitude speedup over software solvers, reported for pure annealing time (computation time), however, since late 2018 there has been a significant upgrade in Dwave hardware. In 2022 US company Dwave further upgrades their hardware again. The QBT website also states the 2022 hardware upgrade in detail for specific reasons, else why specifiy. If “Three-orders of magnitude” in 2018 and 2021 was possible. Late 2022 after Dwave upgrade, further improvements are possible.
Such simulators are capable of outperforming classical computers on the timescale of seconds or less as compared to hours or more, which offers straightforward benefits. In the case of blockchain technology, such optimisers will allow a “faster verification process” reducing the time interval between blocks which will significantly decrease the confirmation time of transaction to the order comparable to “Visa” , and a possible new generation of digital cash will be applicable on day- to-day basis.
A specific achievable timescale depends on the nature of simulator and the type of the problem, in QBT case BTC blockchain processing (mining on the single largest blockchain network on the planet) mining BItcoin blocks. In case of a commercially available D-Wave machine, for instance, (POW) proof-of-work will take tens of milliseconds, depending on the size of the size of the blockchain. A lot to be confirmed...
Back In 2018 the D-Wave team claimed the 2000Q could find solutions up to 2600 times faster than any known classical algorithm. At that time the D-Wave simulator was competing with the state-of-the-art CPU implementations of SA.
We are now using Dwave hardware post-2018, far faster than back in early 2018, with further upgrades on the horizon in 2022.
Some might be surprised by the outcome.
Food for thought....
