DSC-3 vs D-Wave Advantage2 — initial public release

A 40-page paper + reproducible artefacts reproducing D-Wave Advantage2's 2024–2026 published industrial benchmarks on a classical 16-solver ensemble running on a single $1.57/hour cloud GPU droplet.

Headline findings

Axis D-Wave Advantage2 DSC-3 (this work) Ratio
Max embeddable problem 4,400 qubits 1,000,000 (droplet, n=4) ~227×
Hardware capex / hourly $10–15M list $1.57/hour droplet 10⁴–10⁵×
$/solve at N=1,728 $0.05–$1.30 (Leap floor) $0.024 10²–10⁵×
Energy / solve derived ~200 Wh 4.6 Wh 42×
3D EA quality vs Hartmann sampling, not GS ±1% at L≤40 production preset matched
MaxCut Δ vs SA-only at N=10,000 not embeddable +0.13–0.20% (σ ≤ 0.02%, n=3) DSC-3 only
Cryptanalysis verticals (SHA/AES/RSA/GNFS) no publication production encoders DSC-3 only

Reproducibility

  • 12 load-bearing JSON artefacts with SHA-256 manifest (Appendix E of main.pdf)
  • aggregate_results.py + make_plots.py regenerate tables and figures from the JSON
  • run_*.sh / run_*.bat scripts contain the exact commands used on the droplet + workstation
  • Compute-intensity-matched SA-only baseline definition in §2 of main.pdf

Files

  • main.pdf — the paper, 40 pages, 9 figures, 22 tables
  • main.tex — full LaTeX source
  • results/*.json — every measured datapoint
  • figures/*.pdf + figures/png/*.png — plotted figures + README previews
  • tables/*.tex — generated LaTeX tables
  • CHANGELOG.md, CITATION.cff, LICENSE (CC-BY-4.0)

What this paper does not claim

  • That classical methods invalidate D-Wave's sampling-class quantum supremacy demonstration (we solve a different problem)
  • That DSC-3 outperforms every classical algorithm at every scale (Concorde / LKH3 / Goemans–Williamson dominate their specialised classes)
  • That this paper exhausts the relevant benchmarks (four of five SCM verticals, reverse annealing, and the LLM-training drug-discovery pipeline remain future work)
