DESCRIPTION:I will introduce some elements of adiabatic quantum computing\
 , with special focus on approaches that aim to solve hard combinatorial op
 timization problems via quantum annealing. The main features of currently 
 commercialized quantum annealing devices will be described.\nI will provid
 e some notions concerning quantum Monte Carlo algorithms and discuss how t
 hese simulation techniques are being use as a benchmark for quantum anneal
 ers and as a tool to inspect if and when a quantum quantum annealing devic
 es might display a quantum speed-up compared to classical optimization met
 hods.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/24/contributions/180/
