Comparison of Approaches Characteristic Conventional (Circuits) Unconventional (Annealing) Impact of Difference Design philosophy Bottom-‐up Top-‐down Had a functional processor from day 1 Design cycle 1-‐2 per year 8-‐10 per year Rapid design-‐build-‐test cycle accelerates progress and focuses R&D efforts Computational model Physical model Local unitary operations Attitude towards noise Do we see a Moore’s law for qubits? Quantum circuit model Quantum annealing of programmable Ising model Noise is bad and must be eliminated Rate of progress in terms of number of qubits is very slow & at best linear in time Global operations with always-‐on coupling between qubits Noise is tolerated and a little can be beneficial Number of qubits doubling every 18 months: 512 qubits by 2012 (D-‐Wave) Processor is specialized for solving hard optimization problems Quantum many body effects provides intrinsic robustness to low-‐ frequency noise at cryogenic temperatures Presumption that all noise is bad is flawed Perhaps fastest route to a quantum processor of significant capability
Applications N.B. the quantum processor solves the quantum Ising model and all computational problems mappable to it natively, i.e., as a physical evolution. The quantum annealing time is extraordinarily fast in comparison to the speed conventional processors can solve these problems using our best classical algorithms
