The world's first commercially viable quantum computer was unveiled and demonstrated today in Silicon Valley by D-Wave Systems, Inc., a privately-held Canadian firm headquartered near Vancouver. Quantum computing offers the potential to create value in areas where problems or requirements exceed the capability of digital computing, the company said. But D-Wave explains that its new device is intended as a complement to conventional computers, to augment existing machines and their market, not as a replacement for them.

Is there any real evidence beyond D-Wave's own press release, which is, to be polite, skimpy on details, that this is legit?
I perfected quantum computing in my basement last year (I think it was the week after I achieved cold fusion) and demonstrated it to my neighbors down the street. Should I have issued a press release?
Looks like a sham to me.
