Granted, where Rossi is a con artist, D-Wave just seems to be a horribly confused company with a leader and marketing team on coke, but they are equally unbelievable. That is a functioning quantum computer when they can demonstrate it functions. Not before.
Yeah why don't they just cut to the chase and prove that their computer works by cracking some password that would take ordinary supercomputers combined millions of years?
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;37080888]This so retarded and wrong statement that I think several billion particles in my brain spontaneously changed their quantum state.[/QUOTE] You think that's impressive? Two electrons in the in the same carbon atom in my brain switched to the [I]same[/I] quantum numbers! No but really, scientific journalism is horrible.
[QUOTE=MendozaMan;37080285]And soon we will have ultra-advanced technology processing at speeds the human mind can't comprehend, sending quantum information through optical fiber networks at upload speeds way surpassing today's standards Only to see an image of a cat playing with a toy load 10% faster[/QUOTE] Not 10%, more like, well. read this.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;37085051]I'm surprised nobody asked if it can run Crysis yet. I'm proud of you, facepunch.[/QUOTE] 2007 called, not even it wants that joke back.
