![]() ![]() We stated that our results implied that “it is premature to conclude that D-Wave machine exhibits large scale quantum behavior”. In our paper, we gave a very simple classical model of interacting magnets that closely agreed with the input-output data. Their conclusions were based on the close agreement between the input-output data from D-Wave and quantum simulated annealing, and their inability despite considerable effort to find any classical model that agreed with the input-output data. We investigated their claims and showed that there are serious problems with their conclusions. ![]() To date the Boixo et al paper was the only serious evidence in favor of large scale quantum behavior by the D-Wave machine. Let me quickly outline the main point of our paper and the irrelevance of Rose’s comments: Without further ado:Įven a cursory reading of our paper will reveal that Geordie Rose is attacking a straw man. Tonight, in a Shtetl-Optimized exclusive scoop, I bring you Umesh Vazirani’s response to Geordie’s comments. You might recall that Shin, Smith, Smolin, and Vazirani posted a widely-discussed preprint a week ago, questioning the evidence for large-scale quantum behavior in the D-Wave machine.
