Last time I understood they got a classical speedup. And yeah if Scott says it ain't working, it ain't working, agreed there.
I am wondering if they demonstrated there is quantum entangling taking place between qubits and have they observed an asymptotic speedup?
Wonder if there is some hesitation to just say, yeah this doesn't work. We spent all this time and money on it, but that's ok. We learned what doesn't work that is still valuable.
I studied quantum computing a while back (maybe 7-8 years ago). There was a feeling it was going to be the next big thing. Grover's search and Shor's factoring was promising. But I think we ended up mostly with pictures of cats in the cloud and Javascript on the server ;-) which is ok too, I guess.
