Schematic Illustration of Experimental Work Using D-Wave Quantum Annealers

Caption

The degree of agreement with the experimental data from the D-Wave annealing devices is found to be better for the KZM, a quantum theory, than for the classical spin-vector Monte Carlo model, thus favoring a quantum description of the device. Our work provides an experimental test of quantum critical dynamics in an open quantum system, and paves the way to new directions in quantum simulation experiments.
