DWAVE IS THE LEADING COMPANY FOR QUANTUM COMPUTERS
[release][img]http://dwave.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/devport.jpg?w=300[/img]
Keen-eyed readers may have noticed a new section on the D-Wave website entitled ‘developer portal’. Currently the devPortal is being tested within D-Wave, however we are hoping to open it up to many developers in a staged way within the next year.
We’ve been getting a fair amount of interest from developers around the world already, and we’re anxious to open up the portal so that everyone can have access to the tools needed to start programming quantum computers! However given that this way of programming is so new we are also cautious about carefully testing everything before doing so. In short, it is coming, but you will have to wait just a little longer to get access!
A few tutorials are already available for everyone on the portal. These are intended to give a simple background to programming the quantum systems in advance of the tools coming online. New tutorials will be added to this list over time. If you’d like to have a look you can find them here: DEVELOPER TUTORIALS
In the future we hope that we will be able to grow the community to include competitions and prizes, programming challenges, and large open source projects for people who are itching to make a contribution to the fun world of quantum computer programming.

D-Wave?
Read as Dwarve(n).

D-Wave.
Ok, cool.
So what the fuck is D-Wave?

Maybe it's an ocean simulator or something
Dynamic Wave?
D-Wave looks to be a company that makes and sells quantum computers, and they seem to want to allow even the common man to program these machines. :eng101:
It's a company that makes adiabatic quantum computers. They're the ones that hold like 70% of patents related to quantum computation and have sold them to Boeing and others.
I was under the impression D-Wave was either wholesale bullshit or at least fibbing about their progress compared to research in the area.

[QUOTE]"If this were the real thing, we would know about it," says Christopher Monroe, a quantum-computing researcher at the University of Maryland, in College Park. He says D-Wave hasn't demonstrated "signatures" believed to be essential to quantum computers, such as entanglement, a coupling between qubits.
Paul Benioff, a physicist who pioneered quantum computing at Argonne National Laboratory, in Illinois, notes that even the best prototypes can't keep more than 10 qubits in entangled states for long. "Because of this I am very skeptical of D-Wave's claims that it has produced a 128-qubit quantum computer," he says, adding that talk of reaching 10 000 qubits at this point is "advertising hype."[/QUOTE]
Sorry, I expected D-Wave to be more known. I edited the OP.
