Quantum Annealer

A quantum annealer is a specialized type of quantum computer designed to solve complex optimization problems more efficiently than classical computers. It works by using quantum bits (qubits) that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing the system to explore many possible solutions at once. Through a process called annealing, the quantum states gradually settle into the lowest-energy configuration, which corresponds to the optimal or best solution. Quantum annealers are particularly useful for problems like routing, scheduling, and machine learning, leveraging quantum mechanics to find solutions faster for specific tasks compared to traditional methods.
