Firm claims first "commercial" quantum computer Feb 15
A small company in Canada claims to have built the world's first "commercially viable" quantum computer. D-Wave Systems of Vancouver says that its Orion computer, which is built from superconducting materials, can perform a simple algorithm to search databases. The company says it will start selling a commercial version of the machine in 2008 -- but few details of it are available and many physicists are highly sceptical of D-Wave's claims.
