Important comment from Geordie on the dwave blog: "It’s absolutely possible that adding active error correction might help at some point, maybe even in the next generation. If that is the case, we’ll certainly try anything anyone can think of to make the processors work better! In the specific case of exhibiting scaling differences over conventional algorithms, I’d bet we don’t need error correction (at least at the current snapshot) but at the next level (say 2000+ qubits) maybe we might. If we do, no problem — we’ll find a way!" http://dwave.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/first-ever-head-to-head-win-in-speed-for-a-quantum-computer/#comment-23435 http://dwave.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/first-ever-head-to-hea...
