Into the breach February 1, 2008

I am pleased to announce that we have closed a $17M financing round as of last week. These funds will be used primarily to push the level of integration of our chips into the low thousands of qubits by the end of the year. In parallel with this central effort we will be working on running experiments on smaller systems to map out features of these systems important to their operation as quantum computers. Stay tuned, it’s going to be an interesting year!
That is totally awesome to hear! I’m looking forward to more job openings, as I’m moving down there in a few months.
Does Jim Carrey act as a consultant for D-Wave?

What’s great about this is that the argument actually makes sense.
Geordie,you start a new time.

In case anyone was interested in what the comedians were talking about, (not that I understand any of it)
picture searching, customer Disney, think about it.
Low thousands of qubits sounds like 2000-4000 qubits or an acceleration of two to four times over the previous 1024 qubits by the end of 2008.
2-5 months until the Q2 512 qubit machine.
9-11 months until a Q4 2000-4000 qubit machine.
That will be great to see.
Hopefully by 2009-2010 we can fill out that die and get up to 1 million qubits and transforming business and science.
