It would be even more exciting if the device doesn't work for large number of qubits. Several theories (e.g. by 't Hoft, by Smolin) predict that quantum computers should not work when amplitudes become small enough.

Do you have a reference to these theories? Seems interesting

Luckily for the competition Google will also lose interest in and cancel the processor a few months later to focus on developing a new web chat application or yet another mobile OS.

This is getting tiring, the same comment over and over again.
