Phase

Current Phase
IV. GA: Full Specification Advantage2 (4400+ Qubits, 20-way) GA 9, Backend Immediate Migration, GA Announcement to Media 23, Advantage2 GA 9

Technical Milestones

Key Activities
Full-spec Advantage2 (4400+ Qubits, 20-way connectivity) became generally available. Our backend systems were immediately migrated to the new hardware. The improved connectivity was particularly important, as it enabled more efficient embedding of dense Lightning Network graph structures into the quantum annealer.
