Quantum Annealer

These machines are set up specifically to perform adiabatic quantum algorithms to find good solutions for optimization problems. The quantum state is set up at the beginning, and the final configuration following the natural evolution represents a solution. Quantum annealers contrast with universal quantum computers that, as the name suggests, can be set up to run any quantum algorithm for a much broader range of problems by controlling the evolution of the quantum state over time. At Quantinuum, we build universal quantum computers.
