First serial conditional quantum computer was sold about three years ago , it was released by D-Wave Systems company. For obvious reasons, it works perfectly on a different principle than traditional algorithmic system. Quantum computing techniques promise a thousand times to accelerate calculations.
Recent work by an expert in computing - Matthias Troyer from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology showed that the solution of specific problems quantum computer D-Wave Systems proved no faster than typical desktop system with a processor Intel (with optimized software from Cray ). In this operation D-Wave Systems - is still the same confusion. However, scientists believe that studying the possibility of quantum computers must continue.
In this respect interesting to note earlier statement by Google, which last year acquired the system D-Wave Systems for their own needs in the form of organization of the laboratory Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab in collaboration with the agency NASA. In January, Google announced that the work on the system of D-Wave Systems was 35,000 times faster than a traditional computer. Swiss scientist noted this fact in his work the opinion that the absence of benchmarks and a clear understanding of quantum computing testing methodology does not allow us to interpret the results obtained by Google.
