Beyond-classical computation in quantum simulation
Andrew D. King, Alberto Nocera, Marek M. Rams +60
Quantum computers hold the promise of solving certain problems that lie beyond the reach of conventional computers. However, establishing this capability, especially for impactful…
Comparing Quantum Annealing and BF-DCQO
Pau Farré, Erika Ordog, Kevin Chern +1
Recent work [1] has claimed that a gate-model quantum-classical hybrid algorithm called bias-field digitized counterdiabatic quantum optimization (BF-DCQO) [2] outperforms D-Wave's…
How NOT to Fool the Masses When Giving Performance Results for Quantum Computers
Catherine McGeoch
In 1991, David Bailey wrote an article describing techniques for overstating the performance of massively parallel computers. Intended as a lighthearted protest against the practic…
A comment on comparing optimization on D-Wave and IBM quantum processors
Catherine C. McGeoch, Kevin Chern, Pau Farré +1
Recent work [Sachdeva et al.] presented an iterative hybrid quantum variational optimization algorithm designed by Q-CTRL and executed on IBM gate-based quantum processing units (Q…
