At best, d-wave is making an adiabatic quantum computer, not a gate based quantum computer, at worst (most likely), they're a scam.

- core-questions 8y agoIt doesn't look like a scam. When you sign up, you get an API key, and you can get an SDK and submit problems to it. I'm not enough of a mathematician to be able to formulate anything, but there's a growing list of people that have been able to get useful results from it.
- samstave 8y agoWhere can one see the results of a useful result.. and by that i mean Submitted problem X to Dwave cost $Y and returned in Z minutes. Vs Problem X cost $A and returned in W minutes from AWS...
- Dylan16807 8y agoNo one questions its ability to do some amount of math. The doubt is in how it scales.
- jorgec 8y agoI don't know which part of "we are running a quantum computer but we don't wanna show you" (they are saying the same during 10 years), is not a scam?. They could run the api in a server and sells us as it runs in a quantum machine.
- krastanov 8y agoNope, at best they have a "quantum annealing machine" which is not more powerful than a classical computer. Adiabatic quantum computers are just as powerful as the gate model of quantum computing.
