D-Wave with a claim to Q computer

D-Wave a Vancouver company (yay Canada) has announced a demo next week of their 16 bit Quantum computer. I was too late getting the news to book a front row seat. But it will be broadcasted on the internet the 13th of Februrary, Tuesday.

Here's a nice pic...beautiful but almost too "the same" :) like I was expecting some kind of crazy chaotic design with wires all over the place and dry ice...

Quantum Layer 1 (Q-Power Water)

...that's what I drank today on my walk along false creek...I looked for signs of special smartness induced by more fuel as I drank this special oxygenated water. Then I started thinking...extra oxygen...is that some sort of heavy water? Is this oxygen just floating around without a hydrogen? Maybe it's just hydrogen-deprived water. Who ever thought to name a bottled water with [more] oxygen, Quantum Layer 1. I bought it just for the label...so I guess as a marketing strategy it is not a total failure.

Anyway, it's interesting that the Q word carries so much mystery/promise/fear/hope. It's heavily projected on.
