D-Wave Advantage: Q-score
140 Q-score
Caveats
Q-score was defined by Atos for gate-based QAOA; here applied to an annealer using D-Wave's out-of-the-box methods with a 60 s time limit, so not directly comparable with gate-based Q-scores. Conference paper (peer-reviewed proceedings, not a journal). Run dates not given.
- Set-up
- Max-Cut QUBOs on Erdos-Renyi graphs of increasing size N, solved with D-Wave's standard out-of-the-box methods, 60 s time limit.
- Method
- Atos Q-score (Max-Cut), adapted to quantum annealing; D-Wave default methods, 60 s time limit
