Adiabatic Quantum Computation and Quantum Annealing
Adiabatic quantum computation (AQC) is an alternative to the better-known gate model of quantum computation. Quantum annealing (QA) describes a type of heuristic search algorithm that can be implemented to run in the native instruction set'' of an AQC platform. The two models are polynomially equivalent, but otherwise quite dissimilar: one property that distinguishes AQC from the gate model is its analog nature.
manufactures {quantum annealing processor chips} that exploit quantum properties to realize QA computations in hardware. D-Wave Systems Inc. The chips form the centerpiece of a novel computing platform designed to solve NP-hard optimization problems.
Starting with a 16-qubit prototype announced in 2007, the company has launched and sold increasingly larger models: the 128-qubit D-Wave One system was announced in 2010 and the 512-qubit D-Wave Two system arrived on the scene in
