USC finds that D-Wave's Quantum Computer Proven To Be Real Thing (Almost)

[ajaidev]

"Google bought one. So did Lockheed Martin, one of the world?s largest defense contractors. But we still can?t agree on what it is they bought.

D-Wave, the company that built the thing, calls it the world?s first quantum computer, a seminal creation that foretells the future of mathematical calculation. But many of the world?s experts see it quite differently, arguing the D-Wave machine is something other than the computing holy grail the scientific community has sought since the mid-1980s."

It is not considered as a real quantum computer by most not to mention what computer scientists here think about it maybe this news will change their mind.

I thought DARPA got one also.

Should be obvious since it is a "commercial" product now.

darpa will be "borrowing" the 512Q one

I am sure. DARPA gets everything as they are like the new area 51 people.

So nobody know what is it nor how does it work, but it already got a tag.

It works for task intended by buyer ,they just don't tell you what that task is.Would make a great dedicated physx server.

EX.Calculating wind pressure behind 100 million pieces of debris,ricochet and where the pieces will land

Yeah, this stuff is complete magic, nobody has any idea how it works... :p
