Tutorial: Introductory Material -- Quantum Annealing: Basics and Applications -- Other Optimizations.Quantum annealing employs quantum fluctuations in frustrated systems or networks to anneal the system down to its ground state, or more generally to its so-called minimum cost state. Often this procedure turns out to be more effective, in multivariable optimization problems, than its classical c…
