Yes, I wish they'd stop calling it a "quantum computer". It's not a quantum computer. It's a thingy. That said, I'm quite impressed that D-Wave is finally bringing out a thingy that actually does something. Reading the Scott Aaronson post elsewhere in this thread it appears that they've finally got around to demonstrating that their thingy really does do stuff that involves quantum mechanics. They're still way behind their implausible schedule, and their thingy still can't do anything that a classical computer can't do a helluva lot faster and cheaper, but I do congratulate them on having a proper working thingy. But they need to stop calling this thingy a quantum computer.
