There is a debate on whether this architecture gives any advantage over classical computer architectures.

- krastanov 10y agoCalling it a "debate" might be giving too much credit to D-Wave. Nobody, not even they anymore, is claiming that this is a machine capable of more efficient computations than a classical Turing machine (as opposed to a quantum circuit). By "efficient computation" I mean asymptotically polynomial. Moreover, experimenting with the actual hardware has shown that a classical computer is practically better than this machine (in terms of money, electricity, or time).
