"SOURCE D-Wave Systems Inc."<p>"ya da, ya da ... presented results of the largest protein folding problem solved to date using a quantum computer..." but such if computers have minute processor power, the "largest" would also be small right? Sounds like an epsilon-delta proof somehow...<p>Grr... Wake me up when quantum computers have processing of conventional CPUs: "our pseudo-miraculo-tron has been used in simulations which fold proteins, split atoms and fly rockets to the moon, approaching nearly the processing power of the seventies scientific calculators which once were used in such efforts..."
