16个量子比特的量子计算机 Twenty years before most scientists expected it, DWave has announced a 16 Qubit quantum computer that promises to massively speed up computation as we know it (64, 000 operations simultaneously).二十年前，大多数科学家预计， dwave已宣布16量子位的量子计算机的承诺，大规模，加快计算，因为我们知道它（ 64岁， 000行动的同时） 。 DWave will debut at two locations, one at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California on February 13th, and the second at the Telus World of Science in Vancouver, Canada on February 15th. dwave将首次在两个地点，一是在计算机历史博物馆在美国加州Mountain View对2月13日，第二次在TELUS的世界科学在加拿大温哥华举行的关于2月15日。 These events were open to the public, but currently they are already filled up.这些事件向公众开放，但目前他们已经填补了。 The amount of anticipation worldwide is immense.金额预期在全世界是巨大的。

Affordable Quantum computing will pretty much render all of our existing cryptographic algorithms obsolete.负担得起的量子计算将非常令我们所有的现有的加密算法，已经过时。

The Orion system is a hardware accelerator designed to solve a particular该猎户座系统是一种硬件加速器的设计，以解决某一特定 NP-complete problem NP完全问题 called the被称为 two dimensional Ising model二维Ising模型 in a magnetic field.在磁场中。 It is built around a 16-qubit superconducting它是建立在约1 16 -超导量子比特 adiabatic quantum computer绝热量子计算机 processor.处理器。 The system is designed to be used in concert with a conventional front end for any application that requires the solution of an NP-complete problem.该系统是设计用来在演唱会与传统的前端为任何应用程式需要解决的一个NP完全问题。

The way it works is that when your software application needs to solve an NP-complete problem, it passes the problem to the Orion system.其工作方式是，当您的软件应用需求，以解决一NP完全问题，通过问题向猎户座系统。 Nothing changes about the application architecture.没有什么变化，有关应用架构。

They are planning to provide free access to one of these systems in Q2/2007 to people who want to either develop or port applications to it.他们正计划提供免费的访问之一，这些制度在q2/2007的人谁不想要么发展或港口申请。 Count me as a volunteer.指望我作为一个志愿者。 I am very much looking forward to using it.我十分期待着使用它。
