"Once D-Wave collects the results of the simulations and processes the
information, it will compare the simulation against an actual run of
its latest quantum computer, which should be completed in the next few
months. If the figures match up, then D-Wave will have shown that it
really has a quantum machine, silencing skeptics, according to Geordie
Rose, the company's chief technology officer. "
I still don't see how figures matching up prove that what d-wave
developed is a quantum computer. it just proves that it is a faster
computer=85=85..
