yawn Maybe d-wave should put up or shut up. QC companies and bro-advocates have been saying this for years and there's been very little use outside of pure r&d labs.
I don't believe that QC is going to have the ease of use, time to deployment, and relative low-cost that GPUs are going to have any time soon - if ever.
QC could have all of those things and it would still not be a threat. Using a quantum computer for general computation is like using a front-end loader to go grocery shopping: it's a spectacular improvement for the task it's designed for, and utterly useless for the vast majority of other tasks.
....do quantum computers and GPUs have a lot of overlap in the types of tasks they compute ? I was under the impression they solve quite different problems
