“Google says it has proof that a controversial machine it bought in 2013 really can use quantum physics to work through a type of math that’s crucial to artificial intelligence much faster than a conventional computer. Hartmut Neven, leader of Google’s Quantum AI Lab in Los Angeles, said today that his researchers have delivered some firm proof of that. They set up a series of races between the D-Wave computer installed at NASA against a conventional computer with a single processor. ‘For a specific, carefully crafted proof-of-concept problem we achieve a 100-million-fold speed-up,’ said Neven. Google posted a research paper describing its results online last night.”
