HUmmm Does it work the same way as quantum physics? If so, the designers could blame looking at it when it fucks up. How convenient. |

| Coolness: 685500 | If my understanding of how quantum computers work is right, this thing is just fucking insane.. |

 Coolness: 159030 | As per their website :
D-Wave One is a high performance computing system designed for industrial problems encountered by Fortune 500 companies, governments and academia. Our current superconducting 128-qubit processor chip is housed inside a cryogenics system withing a 10 square meter shielded room. Hope you guys can afford this thing, cash and space-wise. |

| Coolness: 685500 | you know, come to think about it, if this works in the way my limited understanding of quantum computing works, it actually already does, even if no one has ported it.. which is fucking mind boggling.. |

| Coolness: 146235 | The idea is that this handles qubits instead of bits, that is, unstable 3-valued data base units that you can "teleport" and stimlate, but neither copy nor observe directly, as opposed to the traditional BInary uniT (2-valued).
The whole information theory has thus been redesigned for quantum computing: usual algorithms have to be adapted, some of them work much better on a quantum computer, but some others are just worse. So, this computer is used to compute special algorithms that are much more efficient, or even impossible to execute or define, than on regular computers. So far, the main usage is to plug it as a separate processor to a regular computer, so that the main program runs normally, but calls sub-programs or functions on this quantum computer, hence benefiting from its über-kewl abilities. This computer is now able to help solve problems that were impossible to compute in a reasonable time. This specific first commercial quantum processor performs only one operation: optimization; they seem to say it's best for machine learning (a field of artificial intelligence) and graph theory, rather than cryptography (as some people thought and more or less feared).

It's funny that it's about the same size as the first regular computers from the 1940s :) |

| Coolness: 159030 | If the cryogenics system on the quantum computer fails and the quantum processor overheats, does it open a wormhole into an alternate universe ? |

| Coolness: 146235 | I don't think so, because the device enabling qubits is not a particle collider/accelerator but rather a lattice/grid of current (or something like that). However, if the thing really messes with quanta, I imagine that antimatter may be tickled a little too much and out-of-this-world things may happen... but I don't know much about physics, so it's just a naive thought :) |
