Problems that would have taken years to solve on a traditional computer could theoretically take seconds on a quantum box.

D-Wave's own machine, Orion, has yet to progress beyond 28 qubits. But the company has said it will be able to fab a chip housing up to 1,024 qubits by the end of 2008
Quote:
They argue D-Wave hasn't shown any evidence its design will be able to scale to the magnitude they are promising.

looks pretty cool, so the actual CPU is the bit on the bottom that resembles an everday sorta chip? and the massive tube thing going up is just cooling?

i think if you read the comment at the bottom with the title "not just 10 01" etc it explains abit more about why this quantum computer is so sought after.

For what little i understand about this sorta thing it is definatly very interesting, thanks casp 8)
