A super computer is worth U.S. $ 15 million or approximately Rp 146 billion, which uses the principle of 'quantum physics' will soon be installed at the facility the U.S. space agency (NASA). The computer will be used jointly by Google NASA and other scientists. With the computer, they can access the machine 3,600 times faster than conventional computers.
Unlike other machines that standard, the D-Wave processor utilizing Two visible effect called quantum tunneling - allowed him to solve some types of mathematical problems in just a fraction of a second.

Effectively, this super computer can try all possible solutions at the same time, and choose the best.
Google wants to use the facilities of NASA's Ames Research Center, located in California, to know how to advance quantum computing and machine learning techniques of artificial intelligence, including to recognize the sound.
The researchers from the university also has a 20 percent share through the Universities Space Research Agency (usra).
Super-elaborate
Canadian company D-Wave Systems that makes the machine, inviting skepticism over the years of the experts in the world of quantum computing. Until the research outlined earlier this year, some experts suspect, the resulting machine company had no evidence of special use quantum effects.
Moreover, utilizing quantum computing behavior 'bizarre' material in the quantum scale. Quantum computers do not use bits but qubits (Quantum Bits).
In contrast, D-Wave Systems focuses on building machines that mengekspolitas technique called quantum annealing - the way distilling optimal mathematical solution of all the possibilities.
Meanwhile, the annealing quantum physics made possible by the effect known as quantum tunneling.
If this is not realized, "In the future, 20 years from now, we will look into the back and wonder why no one ever thought that this was a good idea," said Geordie Rose, chief technology officer of D-Wave, as quoted by the BBC, Friday (05/17/2013).
According to a paper presented this week, the quantum computer has a faster way of working. It took just over half a second to solve a particular problem, compared to a regular computer software that takes at least 30 minutes.
Device reportedly worth Rp 146 billion was placed in a box and will be installed NASA, and began to be exploited by researchers autumn 2013.
