D-Wave’s quantum optimizer might be quantum after all Quantum optimizer's behavior clearly isn't classical. ' At heart, this difference was inevitable. When you get right down to it, we live a quantum world, and if you are careful enough, that will shine through. In some ways, this shows how sloppy our thinking about the whole thing is. When we think of simulated annealing or anything else like this, we imagine a purely classical or a purely quantum system. In reality, things are a lot more messy, with some aspects remaining classical and others showing their quantum nature. What these results show is that we can't treat the D-Wave optimizer as a purely classical device. But, whether that actually means anything in practice is very hard to tell. One of the things that I admire about this, though, is the way the research output is slowly piling up, with much of the evidence being positive for D-Wave. It is the best way to answer critics, both professional and amateur: keep generating evidence and data.' arstechnica.com [Good explanation of "annealing" as it applies here] Jim
