This news just blew my mind. Quantum computing is here and you can buy yourself a quantum computer today. Actually you could buy one for quite a while now but there is a new model which is 512 QuBits up from 128 QuBits of the previous model.

Whats more, I just found out that both Google and NASA  have put in orders for the new model and that Lockhead Martin has already bought the previous model. My mind is officially blown.
