The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Professor Arik looked at the journal in his hand and looked disappointed.
Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, and he spoke angrily.
"This is absolute nonsense!
"A quantum computer with 524 qubits… How is that possible!"
He was a professor of physics and quantum information engineering at the University of Southern California as well as a distinguished researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He was also a consultant for Google's "D-Wave" project. No one knew about quantum computers better than him.
Even the famous quantum annealing algorithm was developed by him.
Even though the academic community had disputes over whether the quantum annealing algorithm could be called quantum computing at all since no one had found evidence of "quantum acceleration", it was still undeniable that D-Wave 2X held the highest qubit record.
