Quantum computing is just a buzzword that people are using to get more money from their worthless research.
 
Dual-Core laptops from 2011 are kicking the shit out of the D-Wave 2 machine, performing 100 times faster for "quantum favored computations" and the machine itself costs more than 10 million fucking dollars.
 
There is no point, aside from getting more funding to blow on coke and hookers. The only realistic use for the machines is cracking encryption schemes anyway, assuming that they do magically find a way to make them beat mediocre Core 2 Duos. Unlikely!
 
This is why everytime you see a presentation on quantum computing, the person is usually dressed up in some relaxed wear, typically a sweatshirt and jeans. Because they know the whole thing is just a giant joke anyway and they're getting paid to just sit around their underwear jerking off and make powerpoint presentations while their sperm count regenerates.
