[quantum-info] Q+ Hangout Tuesday Jan 28 9am QNC B201: Quantum annealing on 503 qubits [Troels Frimodt Rønnow]

[Aharon Brodutch]

Hi all
  We will be joining the Q+ Hangout via vidoconference in QNC B201 on 
Jan 28 at 9am.

Speaker: Troels Frimodt Rønnow [ ETH Zurich]

TITLE: Quantum annealing on 503 qubits

ABSTRACT: Quantum speedup refers to the advantage of quantum devices 
can  over classical ones in solving  classes of computational problems. 
In this talk we show how to correctly define and measure quantum speedup 
in experimental devices. We show how to avoid issues that might mask or 
fake quantum speedup. As illustration we will compare the performance of 
a D-Wave Two quantum annealing device on random spin glass instances to 
simulated classical and quantum annealers, and other classical solvers.
