Here's a fairly recent, but good introductory article. Don't forget to check out the additional links on this page.

And here's the difference between Google and D-Wave.

BTW - D-Wave can access alternative dimensions.   

(Yeah, I know, It's the daily mail - but it offers one of the best explanations I've found...)

This is an impressive article that really explains it for the lay person.

Oh yeah, and this (from 2014)

Strangely enough, I actually understand this article.

Cool.

I want George Norry to interview her. Simply because it could be a classishck.

I want Norry to interview this guy and ask him if "quantum-stuff" can still apply to portals, unicorns, Bigfeet, and demons and how it relates to the "big bang," which "I still can't understand...."

Hunh.  That article reminds me of this:
" Everything that can be Invented has been Invented  " -  Charles H. Duell, Commissioner of US patent office in 1899.

Don't listen to the naysayers and pessimists. All they do is drag people down with them.   

The main problem w/ quantum computing, is de-coherence. (Errors caused by noise / interference.)
It looks like (one possible) solution has been found,
(and blows the IEEE article straight out of the water.)

As far as the big bang is concerned, I don't buy it. They've never been able to prove it - in fact, there is no possible way to prove it with the methods available to us at our present level of understanding of physics. (The singularity.)
