"500,000 times faster than its predecessor"
How much power do quantum computers use and when will they be affordable enough to put in a smartphone/tablet?
And why isn't any other company doing this?

It's probably not worthwhile for quantum computing chips to enter the consumer market, because (AFAIK) quantum computers are only very good at solving a very specific set of problems (e.g. integer factorization), but their advantages over classical chips diminish (or even become negative) for general purpose computation. Of course as quantum chips develop, quantum algorithms will develop/evolve with them so that might change.
There have been some skepticism over whether their quantum computing chip (and similar ones that other companies develop) is actually a quantum computer (e.g. whether true quantum entanglement was observed).
There are other companies doing this, such as IBM.
Yer qubits get too warm and shakey in your pocket...
