What are the hardware characteristics of D-Wave’s quantum computer?

Xiao Huang: What are the fundamental hardware differences between D-Wave’s quantum computer and traditional computers?

DOORM: D-Wave uses superconducting flux qubits. Its Advantage2 system employs the Zephyr topology with 20-way qubit connectivity. Its core operating environment requires cooling via a “quantum fridge” to near absolute zero (22 millikelvin) to maintain quantum state stability and reduce computational errors.
