Wanna buy a quantum computer?

Apparently there's some interest. How much? As of today, our launch of D-Wave Systems last week, at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, followed a couple of days later at the Telus Science Center in Vancouver, B.C., generated about 300 media stories. Sure, this includes A.P. wire stuff in places like Soda Pop Valley, PA. But, still. This is a scalding-hot product concept in an equally hot category embraced by people who generate the heat of agitated molecules. What's the big deal with quantum computers, you ask? Good question. It boils down to making computing faster. By quantum leaps. What this will do for drug discovery, for example, boggles the imagination. Cancer vaccines? Cure for Alzheimer's? Maybe not as far off as people thought before last week. Anyway, it made me proud to be part of this process -- something I'd not experienced in many years. Great clients make great agencies. This was really cool. Stay tuned to D-Wave.
