> but the whole point of having a quantum computer is that it is able to solve interesting mathematical problems > To my understanding, the D-Wave system has demonstrated neither of these things so far. There are different opinions whether D-Wave's quantum computer is able to solve interesting mathematical problems. Here are some - decide for yourself whether you consider them as interesting or not (I'm personally on the side that it is not the kind of application I am interested in, but can imagine that there might be people for whose these might be useful): > https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-cool-possible-applications-of-the-D-Wave-quantum-computer https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-cool-possible-applicatio... Here D-Wave's marketing about applications - read them with a grain of salt ;-) : > http://www.dwavesys.com/quantum-computing/applications http://www.dwavesys.com/quantum-computing/applications
