BLUE BRAIN

Currently they have
simulated one column
of a neocortex (of a rat)
with 10,000 neurons and
30 million synapses
using a 22.8 teraflop
supercomputer.

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.
