  19. Quantum Computing Dwave • DWAVE adiabatic quantum computers could reach 512 to 1000 qubits and performance superior to classical computers in 2008 • Successful development of quantum computers would accelerate the development of molecular nanotechnology with superior molecular simulation and modeling. Confidential

  20. Smartphones Next 10 years…. • Teraflop+ class smartphones that are constantly charged with gigabit+ connections seems likely. • Network to quantum computers and supercomputers of all types for remote processing. • Nvidia Tesla multi-teraflop GPGPU's and AMDs GPGPU Confidential
