"This research proves that D-Wave's quantum computers can reliably solve quantum dynamics problems that could lead to discovery of new materials," said Dr. Andrew King, senior distinguished scientist at D-Wave. "Through D-Wave's technology, we can create and manipulate programmable quantum matter in ways that were impossible even a few years ago."

And there’s no shortage of applications for new discovery of magnetic materials,” says Alan Baratz, CEO at D-Wave Quantum, a company that makes annealing-style quantum computers. That’s why today’s announcement that they were able to simulate a complex magnetic material with a quantum computer is so important.
