What D-Wave is building is not what most other people mean when they say Quantum Computer.
What they build is as far as my lay understanding is something that is much more limited than a "normal" quantum computer. That's why you can't compare qubits from D-Wave with other QC technology.
What D-Wave has is technically called an adiabatic quantum computer and they've yet to show that you can do anything useful with it.
- krastanov 8y agoNitpicking: It is not an adiabatic quantum computer either. Adiabatic quantum computers have as much computing power as the other more usual models of quantum computing (the quantum circuit model for instance). Dwave have a quantum annealing machine, which as far as I know does not do anything better than a classical computer.
