How do you rate this D-Wave claim as it's know that entanglements yield no successful operations? The company produces entanglements, but little 1/0's. I hold that when IBM or Honeywell claims 48 qubits per sec, it is not an empty claim? Maybe I am wrong, but DWave's qubits are empty operations apparently. It obviously produces some successful operations otherwise no customers (NASA?). 

Also,there is the claim by some that when we break 100 qubits per sec, things in the real world start looking like The Jetsons or Trek. The impact on engineering and chemistry, as it were?

The D-Wave is an annealing machine. It is in a sense a quantized neural network. It is not the same as a qu-tangle machine such as the IBM QE.

Thanks for the clarification. Annealing network, in the sense that it fills in gaps (repairs holes in data?) as such? We do need successful, reliable, qubit operations above the 100 qubit mark, to change the world for the better (my subjection) so lets hope progress rolls on.
