D-Wave Systems, the self-proclaimed "first and only provider of
quantum computing systems designed to run commercial applications"
will be demonstrating an end-to-end quantum computing system powered
by a 16-qubit superconducting adiabatic quantum computer processor.

The so-called Orion system is a hardware accelerator designed to be
used in concert with a conventional front end for any app...

Nanotubes – grow or go?
by Nicole Grobert
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were first identified by Morinobu Endo et al. [1] in the late 1970s and caused tremendous interest when Sumio Iijima published his paper in Nature in 1991 [2]. A number of synthesis techniques have been established and it is possible to produce quantities of CNTs sufficient to conduct further research and use in the first applications. Virtually every research article on CNTs refers to their extraordinary properties and potential for future applications. Some measurements suggest that CNTs can be up to 100 times stronger than stainless steel but six times lighter. CNTs are stable at high temperatures and their predicted heat transmission is roughly double that of pure diamond at room temperature. The current carrying capacity of CNTs is estimated a...
