There's something i don't get with this debate around "is this quantum or classical" : i thought quantum computing meant breaking NP complexity. So, in order to determine if it "is" quantum computing, one would suppose that any big dataset would easily show the difference in computing time...
Now, if i understood correctly, the problem is that the algorithms compared (aka annealing) are of statistical nature, so we're not actually comparing "fully" NP complete algorithms, and so the expected difference is not as a big as between an O(n) and an O(x^n)) algorithm.
Could someone here confirm if this is correct ?
