Have been following D-Wave's work since their inception. We also worked with Los Alamos in the area of dealing with rare maintenance events. See tag below.
Nuclear weapons lab buys D-Wave's next-gen quantum computer
Los Alamos National Laboratory will install D-Wave's 5,000-qubit Advantage system in 2020.
It's been a busy time in quantum computing: IBM announced its biggest quantum computer so far, and Google reportedly has cracked a problem with its quantum computer faster than a conventional computer could. Now D-Wave, a rival with a different approach to the technology, has announced that nuclear weapons research site Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is the first customer for its next-generation machine.
Quantum computers are a totally different breed of machine than the classical computers that power everything from your smartphone to Amazon's vast e-commerce operation. Quantum computers rely on the weird physics of the very small to perform calculations classical machines can't solve -- at least in principle. So far, the technology is very, very experimental..... "

" .... On May 11, 2011, D-Wave Systems announced D-Wave One, described as "the world's first commercially available quantum computer", operating on a 128-qubit chipset[10] using quantum annealing (a general method for finding the global minimum of a function by a process using quantum fluctuations)[11][12][13][14] to solve optimization problems. ...
