   A search space that's 2^2000 big when each fitness function evaluation takes a few seconds is intractable on a conventional computer. The relative performance gain is exponential the more qubits you add, which is why this is the first

   I'm not sure where you're getting your information: everyone in this thread seems to be parroting the same popsci headline that it's not a "real" quantum computer, but that completely misses the point. Regardless o

   Unfortunately the NSA doesn't do a lot of evolutionary structural optimization :/

   It basically performs the same function as traditional combinatoric optimization algorithms, e.g. simulated annealing and evolutionary optimization, but it does a much much much better job at it since it can test the superposition of the en

   Now this is starting to get interesting. 2000 qubits is where it starts being applicable to meaningful real-world combinatoric optimization problems. I would kill to have access to one of these machines for my research... Edit: What'
