Shouldn't that headline read:
'D-Wave doubles the size of its fraud' ?
D-Wave doubles qubit count
Quantum computer company D-Wave systems has announced a new processor using 2000 qubits, double its previous qubit count. The company says it's also added new features to the machine so that it can: Tune the rate of annealing of individual qubits to enhance application performance; Sample the state of the quantum computer …

Re: Shouldn't that headline read:
Let's just say it's a Heisenfraud.
It may or may not be a fraud, and if you observe it, it collapses into distinct opinions.
I think there has been some analysis that shows that quantum effects are indeed being used at the D-Wave Device, although not as much as the hype would suggest.
D-Wave reckons those new features and the new processor mean its next machine goes 1,000 times faster than its old kit.
How come a larger state space makes it anneal three orders of magnitude faster? This is a statement out of a Gundam anime.
