Â This is a video on DWAVEs recently validated quantum computer.

Flolfolil Posted July 10, 2013 "I am not going to tell you how it works, but I will give you an analogy" Â Uhh, how about you just tell us how it works? Â Also, really tired of all the "we are going to make computers do whatever humans can do" stuff. How do they even know what humans can do? Â Â Sorry, i am not getting pissy at you for posting the thread, just at long ass pointless videos that basically say nothing. Quantum computing sounds cool, but i still don't know what the hell it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder_Gooch Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) He does get into how it works short of explaining the math of it. 13:04 Â http://scienceblog.com/64278/large-scale-quantum-chip-validated/ Â http://www.nature.com/news/computing-the-quantum-company-1.13212 Â if you want more reading.

Thunder_Gooch Posted July 11, 2013 The gist of it is they believe the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is indeed correct.  That they are sharing processor resources with a growing exponential number of parallel universes equally as real as our own, all focused on the exact same problem.   http://www.dwavesys.com/en/dev-tutorial-hardware.html  Has a good overview of the actual hardware.
