1) If this experiment had been done at a University and they had published how exactly everything worked, it would indeed have been a pretty big leap in quantum computing. But right now, their computer is a black box. Nobody outside the company can say for sure that this their system really works the way they say it does, or if it is really a quantum computer at all.

2) It's a private company so they probably won't want to publish their secrets for awhile. That means the only way to really verify this thing is if they manage to scale up their system to handle bigger problems. At some point they would be able to prove it's a quantum computer just by solving certain problems faster than any conventional computer around could.

3) From a theoretical standpoint, they've taken an unconventional approach to quantum computing. It might just work, but nobody is sure right now. Once again, it's hard to say given that so little is known about the actual details of their setup.

Their quantum computer delivered its answer to us.

Now they know that we're here - no one is safe.]]>Feb 14th 2007 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/worlds-first-commercial-quantum-computer-solves-sudoku/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/worlds-first-commercial-quantum-computer-solves-sudoku/
