Experimental Programable Quantum Annealing Sergio Boixo Google Abstract: I will start by motivating quantum computation, and explaining some of its principles. Quantum annealers are special purpose quantum optimizers. "Noise" (open system dynamics) is an important feature of quantum annealers, and they are not necessarily universal quantum computers. Can quantum effects play a functional role in
