Some have suggested D-Wave's 128 qubit computer is nothing more then a scam, but if so it appears to be one the US government supports! Whatever the case may be progress is being made with quantum computing and the implications are mind boggling. Such a system could theoretically provide profound new insights into quantum mechanics, rapidly model countless processes, and even break every conventional encryption code used worldwide. Which leads me to wonder if we are now facing the next technological revolution and Manhattan Project.
