Comment on "Scaling advantages of all-to-all connectivity in physical annealers: the Coherent Ising Machine vs D-Wave 2000Q" [arXiv:1805.05217]
Catherine C. McGeoch, William Bernoudy, James King
A recent paper [arXiv:1805.05217] compares performance of a D-Wave 2000Q system to two versions of the coherent Ising machine (CIM). This comment points out some flaws in the analy…
