They say: Based on the results presented here, one cannot claim
a quantum speedup for D-Wave 2X, as this would require
that the quantum processor in question outperforms the
best known classical algorithm. This is not the case for
the weak-strong cluster networks. This is because a va-
riety of heuristic classical algorithms can solve most in-
stances of Chimera structured problems much faster than
SA, QMC, and the D-Wave 2X.
But that in my opinion does not mean that it is not a quantum annealing computer, just that it does not bring the speed-up we are looking for.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoThat stood out for me too. It might mean something or might not. D-Wave just acts dodgier than most companies so Im a bit more skeptical.
