I really wish I could just read the transcripts of these videos, it would be much faster, but this is the guy that made the DWave- Geordie Rose 8wVtK6QKzuc

This is the first of three parts that show how it is made

This is the one I was looking for

This is longish, but it is a lecture by a professor. It was published four years ago.

The physics of low temperatures

I thought the video you posted looked familiar, I saw it in my history when searching for these tee hee. The weird part for me is these have dates from 2010, 2013 (the ideas) and I am very 'into' Science. I didn't see these. I didn't hear anything about them until recently (within the last year). I did see the long haired guy in the first video on a PBS special a few years ago I think, he was the one explaining how the bits can be both 0 and 1. I am going to scour for some written material for those that prefer that. Good thread!

Here are some written articles

"The material here is written using very high level concepts and is designed to be accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences. Some background in physics, mathematics and programming is useful to help understand the concepts presented in this document, although this is not a requirement."

These seem to be about the DWAVE only and I think that is because they are the only ones doing this so far. Oh unless someone has built a private one or twenty by now.... hmmmmm

:boom: Still, cannot wrap my head arround it. I'm thick I guess or I need a special teacher or it cannot be explained in a more objective way. Hopeful still.:pop2:
