D-Wave Still Trying to Prove they have a Quantum Computer
Posted by Peter Owen | Filed under technology
“While founded in 1999, D-Wave remains a start-up because it has yet to ship a computer that customers can actually buy. Much of the company’s work is locked in the theoretical realm of quantum computing – long considered a sort of black arts backwater of the computing field full of promise but thin on near-term practicality.”
I have heard plenty of news about this company and how it’s been trying to prove that it created a quantum computer for years now. Somehow I’m still a bit skeptical just like that company, Steorn, that says they created something that creates energy from nothing (or at least nothing we understand).

“look!! we made something out of nothing! there was NOTHING! and now there’s SOMETHING!” that’s pretty hilarious… just trying to grasp how you could market this item is cracking me up.
“so what did you start with?”
“nothing!”
“and now??”
“this metal foil tube!!!! obviously SOMETHING!”
“and there it is folks… the QUANTUM COMPUTER… buy your very own!”
