Does anyone know if Apple actively works at Quantum Computing?

  I'd be surprised. They don't do anything similar. What Apple essentially does is: Plug computer parts together, wrap in a shiny case, add software.

    This way off base. They have dedicated scientific research labs. This is just one example them giving a peek: http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-published-first-artificial-intelligence-research-paper-2016-12 http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-published-first-artific...

      This is the first research paper they've published; they do not have a strong research presence precisely because they did not allow publication of research carried out at Apple, making it difficult to hire researchers whose career depends on said publications. Furthermore, AI is very different from the fundamental research underlying quantum computing.

        Yes. But GP was simply refuting the assertion that all Apple does is "Plug computer parts together, wrap in a shiny case, add software," not claiming that Apple has a strong research presence or is working on a quantum computer.

          To me saying that they have "dedicated research labs" is at least partially claiming that they have strong research presence.
