How does quantum computing improve energy efficiency?

Xiao Huang: D-Wave says quantum computing can address the energy crisis. How exactly?

DOORM: D-Wave proposes “Enter Quantum” as a breakthrough solution. Its quantum computers are based on superconducting flux qubits and quantum annealing principles, supported by a “quantum fridge” that cools the chip to 22 millikelvin. This ensures computational accuracy while delivering energy efficiency several orders of magnitude higher than traditional chips for combinatorial optimization problems, addressing the industry’s high-power, high-energy consumption dilemma at its root.
