Bill MacReady, who formerly worked with us on advanced supply chain models is now with D-Wave. They have demonstrated what claims to be a commecial quantum computer. Bill is formulating some very hard math problems to put the system to test. This could solve some very hard design, simulation and scheduling problems that are as yet uncrackable.
Now the critics are out, including an article in Technology Review. This weekend there was an article in the NYTimes, and some insider criticism about the demo. This has the potential of being the biggest advance in computing in many years, but some claims remain to be proven.
