Under the Hood of Quantum Computing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fun-facts dept.

nanotrends writes "Gordie Rose, the CTO of Dwave Systems, the venture funded company that plans to offer paid use of a superconducting quantum computer starting in 2007, reveals secrets of his quantum computer construction. It is based on nobium superconducting 'circuits of atoms' and is not RSFQ. (Rapid Single Flux quantum)."

  1. Looks great but by BeoCluster · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Can I make a Beowulf Cluster of those Quantum computers ?

  2. Umm yeah right. by Millyways · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What a load of rubbish. Quantum computinf is nowhere near the level where it is useful for anything, let alone for building a supercomputer out of it.

    In space nobody can even assess whether it really is a quantum computer.
