A Google TechTalk, June 29, 2016, presented by Itay Hen (USC)
ABSTRACT: Tunneling is widely believed to be the main advantage quantum annealers have over their classical counterparts.
With neither provable speedups nor no-go theorems demonstrated, the true power of quantum annealers remains debated.

In this talk, I will present preliminary results of numerical simulations of simple classical algorithms that contest, at least to some extent, the belief that quantum tunneling is an important resource.

Presented at the Adiabatic Quantum Computing Conference, June 26-29, 2016, at Google's Los Angeles office.
