It is indeed, correct. The annealing example I linked is from his team (here's another one with full citation with Martinis at the end there [0]). And if you want further proof that Martinis and the Google Quantum team are pursing quantum annealing look no further than the Adiabtic Quantum Computing Conference that was held this summer where their team held several talks including "Building Quantum Annealer v2.0" [1]. And I didn't touch on your earlier (erroneous) comment on the scientific community's perception of D-Wave, but I think it needs to be said that in actual professional circles…

This article and the discussed work was put out last December (see http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02206). Scott Aaronson weighed in around that time; see http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=2555.

If we compare single core CPU performance against heavily motivated special solution, then it is not (it does not follow that the same method can be applied in this case, but then again, a better classical algorithm on single core beats the reported quantum result according to the paper (PS. this is in the paper, not on the graph)). Here is comparison http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/36412/what-is-the... between GPU and ASIC bitcoin mining and here is https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Non-specialized_hardware_comparis... GPU and CPU comparison. From this the difference between between GPU…

> from the paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02206 : we report the total computational effort of QMC in standard units of time per single core. That's an interesting way to compare quantum and classical computer "substrates" on the same footing: running time. > Based on the results presented here, one cannot claim a quantum speedup [...] as this would require that the quantum processor [to] outperform the best known classical algorithm. This is not the case... because a variety of heuristic classical algorithms can solve most instances of Chimera structured problems much faster than SA, QMC…
