Linkbait.....post... Exaggerated title designed to make people click..
damn, i don't have downvote privileges.
No one can downvote stories. You can only flag them, which isn't really the same thing.
I do think flagging is appropriate in this case, though, as the title is completely inaccurate and misleading.
First, they haven't come close to actually building something that can rightfully be called a "quantum computer." They've demonstrated an interesting research program, but there's still a very long way to go.
Second, there have been quite a few proposals for quantum computing architectures that separate processing elements from memory elements, and so the proposed architecture is not at all "the first."
I guess it just bothers me a bit because as a grad student in quantum information, I want my field to be represented as well as it can be.

Oh.. i had no idea, I just assumed a model similar to stackexchange. I would be surprised if that has not been proposed/discussed yet.
At the bottom of the page, you can see a "Feature Requests" link that goes to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363 but almost none of the requested features have ever been implemented.
Also there -> http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3007817 (an article from spectrum.ieee.org) with some more details.
Does it mean "there will be one qc computer on everyone's desk" in several decades?
You mean like this: http://www.maximumpc.com/files/u94712/corequu_0.png
No.
No.
