IBM announces 17 qubit quantum processor - Inori - 05-17-2017
I don't have much to say other than this is fucking huge. The last record for a quantum processor, first set at the University of Waterloo, Canada, was a whole 5 qubits.
Now, as explained in the article below, D-Wave's (also Canadian) flagship 2000Q quantum computer is a "quantum annealer", which is a different type of framework and one that's much easier to scale, but it still clocks in at an insane 2000 qubits.

This just demonstrates that technology Is there, yet It's made public as they see fit.
Very Informative reading, thanks.

This is VERY interesting. As of about a week ago, I didnt think anyone had quantum computers, until I was told otherwise by someone. Its coming way too quick.
