Quantum annealing with the D-Wave processor
Event Start:

Event End:

Event Information:
As current transistor-based computational technologies reach their fundamental limitations, quantum computing offers a new paradigm that could radically increase our capacity for solving difficult problems. This talk will present an overview of quantum annealing as a specific method of quantum computation and discuss D-Wave's implementation based on superconducting flux qubits. I'll present some recent work done using our processor, including materials simulations of topological phase transitions in frustrated magnetic systems.
