Are these computers actually useful?
- TehCorwiz 11y agoAbout as much as any computer with no software. It's more a push into a new technology for the sake of it. Applications will come, or they won't, we will have to see.
- marcosdumay 11y agoUp to now, no, they aren't. They are expensive as any computer fabricated at low volume, they aren't faster than current clusters. It may still be a good specialized architecture, but didn't prove itself on any problem.
- gaze 11y agoThey're not even quantum.
- jonbaer 11y agoLet's just say they solve particular case(s) of problems via quantum annealing techniques and be done with it ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_annealing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_annealing ... there is no doubt in the future going to be other ways to solve other problems but in the meantime the technique works.
