prototype of quantum computer

NASA (National aeronautics and Space administration, national agency on aeronautics) confirmed last Thursday the fact that precisely to them was produced on the contract the chip, which was being used for the demonstration of quantum calculations by Canadian company D -Wave systems.
Let us recall, the working prototype of quantum computer was shown to public in translation, which was on 13 February. Scientific community perceived this event is completely alerted, since confrontation to control the work of device, and also to become acquainted with its technical documentation by scientist thus far they did not allow.

leader D -Wave, Kherb Martin named development by the specialized machine, which uses a little quantum mechanics for the solution of problems.

Now it is reported that the solution D -Wave is the traditional server, in whom quantum chip is used as coprocessor, capable of accelerating a number of calculations.

The latter uses superconductors from the alloy of niobium and aluminum and it is cooled by liquid helium to low temperatures in region of zero according to Kelvin.

The development Of orion was conducted by the engineers D -Wave, NASA in this case came out by contract producer.

Today in the active membership D -Wave systems 16- bit quantum computer, prior to the end of year its performance will be twice size, and even in year company plans to develop 1024-Cubit .

However, producer plans to pass first his model to the lease to organization concerneds and enterprises, beginning from 2008.

Analysts on the previous do not believe in the fact that D -Wave systems is capable of achieve success in this field even they consider that soon the company will be absorbed by one of the giants of branch. As the possible candidates are called Intel or IBM.
