Hi! I was not thinking about IBM creating a QUIP, I was mentioning that ibm wants to sell it in the market... many vendors are having those machines, but not all of them are selling. So the point is not to create them, is to sell them to anyone has the money.
Sure, also D-Wave is doing it as a service... but. Although Bernstein and Vazirani proved QUIP is Turing Complete ( http://epubs.siam.org/doi/abs/10.1137/S0097539796300921) , an SDK which can run any algorithm we run on normal computers is far to come. IBM and D-WAVE have their own SDK , sure, but it is very hard to say "you code and you run". Just to code needs to understand how the machine works, which makes development suitable for a very restricted club of people.
(btw, I will also answer you to your request of a chat, I only have remains of time for steemit, sorry for that.)
Good points! Thanks.
