Quantum Annealing vs. Gate-Based Quantum Computing: Two Machines Built for Different Jobs
Quantum annealing and gate-based quantum computing are distinct approaches, not competing versions of the same machine. Quantum annealing excels at optimization problems by finding lowest-energy configurations, while gate-based computing offers universal computation for broader tasks like simulation and factoring.
