johannessimon81 on 05 Sep 16Not an answer to Leopold's question but here is a little primer on quantum computers for those that are (like me) still confused about what they actually do: http://www.dwavesys.com/tutorials/background-reading-series/quantum-computing-primer It give a good intuitive idea of the kinds of problems that an adiabatic quantum computer can tackle, an easy analogy of the computation and an explanation of how this get set up in the computer. Also, there is emphasis on how and why quantum computers lend themselves to machine learning (and maybe trajectory optimization??? - ;-) ).
