D-Wave quantum computer solves protein folding problem

&#62; 10,000 measurements using an 81 qubit version of the experiment gave the correct answer just 13 times<p>&#62; It’s also worth pointing that conventional computers could already solve these particular protein folding problems<p>So if one cannot already solve the problem is one capable of checking that the answer is correct with such a low probability of correctness?

So they can fold a 20 residue protein on a lattice using the coarse grain HP model, competing squarely with 1970s tech.

When I first heard of D-Wave I thought for sure they were some kind of scam outfit. I am impressed..

It seems that 13 out of 10000 tests is on the level of noise statistically, isn't it? Admittedly, I am a layman on this subject. But if I had my corgi puppy nose my keyboard 10,000 times a word or 13 would pop out. That doesn't mean she knows how to write.

Am I missing something? There was nothing about the speed in which the correct answer was arrived at versus conventional methods. Isn't q-computing supposed to be significantly faster? Yet, no solution time(s) mentioned.
