What is it? Comfortable life for D-Wave founders ;)
Two months ago Lockheed Martin spent several millions on their machine.
Does anybody knows what L-M wants to do with this box?

@edpell: wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer) and Qubit.org (http://www.qubit.org/) are good starting points for this issue, definitely too wide to be covered in such post.
