Here's hoping that my stock for D-Wave ends up being worth something.
Quantum computing seems super cool, but I've been a little skeptical of it actually ever yielding anything useful. I would love to be wrong, it seems neat, and I have read through a few books on the subject and played with simulators, so I'm not completely talking out of my ass here, but quantum as a whole has kind of felt like vaporware to me.
As I said, I have stock in D-Wave, obviously it would be in my best interest for quantum to end up as cool as it seems.

[delayed]
Can quantum computing do even basic math yet? I think this was the holdup. Or perhaps I'm missing the point.
