    I love the fact that the journal in which the paper was published has a typo in the name...

Lockheed Martin buys first D-Wave quantum computing system - 1 views

  • D-Wave develops computing systems that leverage the physics of quantum mechanics in order to address problems that are hard for traditional methods to solve in a cost-effective amount of time. Examples of such problems include software verification and validation, financial risk analysis, affinity mapping and sentiment analysis, object recognition in images, medical imaging classification, compressed sensing and bioinformatics.

    According to the company's wikipedia page, the computer costs $ 10 million. Can we then declare Quantum Computing has officially arrived?! quotes from elsewhere in the site: "first commercial quantum computing system on the market"; "our current superconducting 128-qubit processor chip is housed inside a cryogenics system within a 10 square meter shielded room" Link to the company's scientific publications. Interestingly, this company seems to have been running a BOINC project, AQUA@home, to "predict the performance of superconducting adiabatic quantum computers on a variety of hard problems arising in fields ranging from materials science to machine learning. AQUA@home uses Internet-connected computers to help design and analyze quantum computing algorithms, using Quantum Monte Carlo techniques". List of papers coming out of it.

    This journal publishes failed scientific attempts, experiments, theories. There seems to be a peer review process behind it.
  •  
    OK more to the fun side, but I often think it is not a bad idea to publish "failed" research

    Functional classification of knowledge is a very effective way of stripping away boundaries between different industries and scientific disciplines. The function database provides descriptions, examples and animations for all known effects that can produce a function.
