I think they're pretty distinct ideas. In their current forms I think they're better separate. Aram.harrow (talk) 16:10, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article too hard for ordinary readers

[edit]

I came across this subject in the mainstream media, apropos of the recent announcement that NASA and Google have bought a D-Wave "quantum" computer. This Wikipedia article is pretty useless for ordinary readers like me, and is of virtually no help in understanding the concept. I found a much more accessible explanation here (under "Hills and valleys") that I could largely understand. Obviously we can't copy that directly, but it would be nice if someone could write a more friendly explanation along those sort of lines. 86.156.22.226 (talk) 21:02, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I read your link. I will try to incorporate it into the article. At the very least, I will include it in the External Links section. Thank you for your contribution!--FeralOink (talk) 10:14, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

D-Wave Section should be removed

[edit]

The listing of the D-wave one/two as Adiabatic is incorrect as far as I understand.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Quantum_annealing#Incorrect_Claim_Regarding_D-Wave? We have a reference discussing the difference between quantum annealing and Adiabatic quantum computing.

Additionally, digging through the history of this article, we find https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adiabatic_quantum_computation&oldid=590641249 where the section has a single reference (before this, the reference is simply a page number to a physical release rather than a link to the article). This reference makes no claim regarding D-Wave's systems being Adiabatic quantum computers. 66.168.46.68 (talk) 00:37, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
