Opening Quantum Computing To the Public

Posted by Soulskill on from the take-two-they're-small dept.

director_mr writes "Tom's Hardware is running a story with an interesting description of a 28-qubit quantum computer that was developed by D-Wave Systems. They intend to open up use of their quantum computer to the public. It is particularly good at pattern recognition, it operates at 10 milliKelvin, and it is shielded to limit electromagnetic interference to one nanotesla in three dimensions across the whole chip. Could this be the first successful commercial quantum computer?"

    Beowulf and nut cluster reference.

    Yeah, I mean imagine running Crysis on that.
