Can't find any explanation of what the supposed D-Wave quantum computer actually does. Null hypothesis: pure hype.
@St_Rev Yeah, the current claim is that it does quantum annealing. Not clear how/whether that beats regular annealing. Reading McGeoch now.

@Meaningness 3 possibilities: D-Wave snuck in a mechanical Turk, D-Wave got really lucky, D-Wave actually works. Guess we'll know soon enuf. -
@St_Rev Or it does something that is uninteresting once you strip out the hype. McGeoch paper is first semi-explanation. Fairly dense... - 6 more replies
