A continuous function is exactly what it sounds like — a function that has no gaps or jumps. You can trace a path from any point on such a function to any other without lifting your pencil. Calculus ...

Quantum annealing (QA) can be competitive to classical algorithms in optimizing continuous-variable functions when running on appropriate hardware, show researchers from Tokyo Tech. By comparing ...
