According to a recent press release from NEC, the company has just demonstrated what they proudly call the “world’s first controllably coupled qubits”.

As a counter-argument to that claim, I reference this. Also I would mention that the 16-qubit processor we ran the demo on has 42 such couplers, all of which were operated simultaneously in the course of doing an actual computation.

I’m particularly interested in seeing what response–if any–this press release will get from my fellow quantum bloggers.
