Site Location: NASA Ames research Center

NASA’s Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (QuAIL) team will lead efforts, studying in depth the performance power of the D-Wave Two quantum-annealing computer for solving hard optimization problems. This 512 qubit machine was recently installed at NASA Ames in partnership with Google and USRA. It is hosted now in a specially shielded room in the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS), with the processor maintained in a protected state vacuum at a temperature of a few tens of milliKelvin.
