Re: To the believers and would-be investors in Quantum Computing / D-Wave

Oh well, that should be pretty easy to test.

Yes, if they weren't so secretive about exactly is inside the shielded black-box and its capabilities - not to mention the claims that it utilizes a much-hyped "future tech" that has fundamental physical limitations in scalability beyond rudimentary proof of concept experiments. As it stands, it's got all the earmarks of a type of scam that's as old as the hills.

Did u read & understand my post?

Yes I did.

It would give them credibility if they could provide solutions to intractable problems or give the factors of RSA-2048, but they've done nothing of the sort and in fact avoid saying it will do anything specific. They make only vague statements about using it for "business solutions" but not a word about what sort of processes it can handle "out of the box" (so to speak) - or even that it will run any processes at all.
