Another note: > it comes with some caveats -- not the least of which is that the computer was engineered for the specific optimization task it was tested with. I'm fine with this. While a general purpose quantum computer would be preferable, there is a high enough volume of optimization problems to make special purpose machines incredibly valuable.
