Trivia: The first major public demonstration of D-Wave used a modified version of our PerfectTablePlan table planner software to show how D-Wave could solve a real world optimization problem.

Nice. I sat through a sales presentation/demo by D-Wave once. Very interesting, though limited to a particular class of problems.
Heck, the copy on their homepage is a big clue:
"Our customers are building quantum applications for problems as diverse as logistics, portfolio optimization, drug discovery, materials sciences, scheduling, fault detection, traffic congestion, and supply chain management. What problem can we help you solve?"
