Google Finds D-Wave Machine To Be 10^8 Times Faster Than Simulated Annealing
We found that for problem instances involving nearly 1000 binary variables, quantum annealing significantly outperforms its classical counterpart, simulated annealing. It is more than 10^8 times faster than simulated annealing running on a single core.
