See NY Times blog entry explaining this project.
Quote:
D-Wave Systems, a Canadian start-up, claims to have concocted a way of proving that its quantum computer is actually a quantum computer. But to pull off the proof, it needs thousands of people to volunteer spare time on their personal computers.

Here's the BOINC project:

And here's our mighty team!

If this thing is for real, the NSA or the Los Alamos Lab will take it over!

Sweet, I'm already on the team!

I like the stock options suggestion.

Snagged a WU so I can make my sig bigger. initial time estimate is 11.5 hours. Have to see how long it actually takes. Rather than stock options, I'll take one of the quantum computers and put it to work here!

I'm on the team as well and completed a w/u.
Credits are a bit dissapointing considering the length of the work.
I guess i'm just used to the SETI credits.

I joined a few hours ago with about 20% of a quad and am already up to 72. At first glance, it seems to be paying 25-30/hour, which isn't at all mean. Work units seem to be running ½ to 1½ hours.

According to AQUA@Home forums, credit is being awarded according to BOINC's default credit granting algorithm.

Full detail about it can be found: NOT HERE!
