People frequently ask me about D-Wave. I think Seung Woo Shins abstract for the IQI seminar tomorrow says everything you need to know: Recently there has been intense public interest in research surrounding the D-Wave quantum computer. While claims about speedups over classical computers have been largely refuted, studies also claim that D-Wave machines exhibit signatures of quantum behavior. In this talk, I will outline a very simple classical model which explains the published large scale input-output behavior of the D-Wave One machine. While raising serious questions about how quantum the D-Wave machine is, the new model also provides insights into the native problem solved by the D-Wave machine.
