One of the primary components of any quantum computer, gate or annealing is the dilution refrigerator. This device can be seen in almost every press photo in the last 10 years, as a tall cylinder that houses the quantum processing unit. (QPU)

This post is an attempt to deep dive into the computing systems built by D-Wave. D-Wave was the first company to build a commercially viable quantum annealer, in 2011. Although the company has spent most of its time working on annealing computers, they did announce in 2021 that they were working on a universal gate computer as well.1

The prototype QPU that D-Wave built was named Orion that was first demonstrated in 2007 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. This machine had a total of 16 qubits,

No new computing technology would be complete without the juggernauts of the industry such as IBM.
