Comment on: "Classical signature of quantum annealing"

摘要: In a recent preprint (arXiv:1305.4904) entitled "Classical signature of quantum annealing" Smolin and Smith point out that bimodal distribution presented in (arXiv:1304.4595) for the success probability D-Wave device does not itself provide sufficient evidence annealing, by presenting classical model also exhibits bimodality. Here we analyze their addition present similar derived from semi-classical limit spin dynamics, which distribution. We find both cases correlations between probabilities these models are weak compared to simulated annealer device. Indeed, annealing arXiv:1304.4595 is limited bimodality, but relies on annealer. The Smolin-Smith our fail this correlation test.
