Risks & Payoffs<br />
§� Risks<br />
ú� Not all <strong>NASA</strong>-‐problems may be mappable to the current architecture<br />
ú� Use of chains of multiple qubits to connect non-‐adjacent qubits in the<br />
chimera graph might not scale indefinitely<br />
ú� Decoherence properties of the chip under scaling are not yet fully<br />
understood<br />
§� Payoffs<br />
ú� Provides a rich and functional platform for experimentation with<br />
quantum computer algorithms, programming languages, and<br />
architectures<br />
ú� Solves certain mission-‐critical problems faster<br />
ú� Solves certain mission-‐critical problems better (global, or lower local,<br />
minima)<br />
ú� Deploys practical quantum computing decades earlier than most expect<br />
ú� Opportunity to leapfrog ahead in quantum computing & show leadership<br />
ú� Catalyzes collaborations with industry and academia on <strong>NASA</strong> problems
