Update: Google’s use of a ‘quantum computer’

News: Computer Power    December 17, 2009

Chris Lee over at Ars-Technica has some background observations on the story about Google’s use of the D-Wave system for analyzing images.

Google doesn’t give a damn if it is a quantum computer or not, just that it works, and works better than existing systems.
