Firm claims first "commercial" quantum computer (Feb 15)
http://physicsweb.org/article/news/11/2/14
A small company in Canada claims to have built the world's first
"commercially viable" quantum computer. D-Wave Systems of Vancouver says
that its Orion computer, which is built from superconducting materials,
can perform a simple algorithm to search databases. The company says it
will start selling a commercial version of the machine in 2008 -- but
few details of it are available and many physicists are highly skeptical
of D-Wave's claims.
