Dwave’s Geordie Rose explains why the How Quantum is the D-Wave Machine? Shin et al paper is wrong
Here are two competing explanations for experiments performed on D-Wave processors. Explanation #1. D-Wave processors are inherently quantum mechanical, and described by open quantum systems models where the energy scale of the noise is much less than the energy scale of the central quantum system. Explanation #2. D-Wave processors are inherently classical, and can be …
