There were a couple papers a year ago showing pretty convincingly that yes there is some entanglement between some of its qubits. But from what I've seen there's zero evidence that they've done anything that would be hard for a classical computer. All signs thus far point to snake oil, but with a genuinely great team. They'll probably do something interesting 5 years from now and then Geordie will point back at all the naysayers and say "see I told you so!!"

Their only innovation seems to be "more qubits that haven't even be demonstrated to be qubits", so I'm a bit sceptical that their future endeavors will do much. Either the team or their management is insisting they ignore everything we know about adiabatic quantum computing despite having not found a hint of contradicting evidence.
