My understanding is that it is not enough to just be a "qbit based computer" to be able to solve QBP (i.e. perform shors algorithm to break RSA). These computers are quantum adiabatic computers which are indeed quantum in that they use qbits, but it is not clear that they can perform some operations required for QBP problems.
