Quantum annealing

Quantum annealing is a computational technique used to solve optimization problems, where the goal is to find the best solution from many possibilities. It leverages principles of quantum mechanics, allowing it to explore multiple solutions simultaneously. By using quantum bits (qubits), the process starts in a superposition of all possible configurations and gradually evolves towards the lowest energy state, which represents the optimal solution. This method can be particularly effective for complex problems in fields like logistics, finance, and material science, offering a potential advantage over classical methods by tackling cases that are computationally challenging.
