Classical signature of quantum annealing

A pair of recent articles concluded that the D-Wave One machine actuallyoperates in the quantum regime, rather than performing some classical evolution. Here we give aclassical model that leads to the same behaviors used in those works toinfer quantum effects. Thus, the evidence presented does not...
