Andrew King is Director of Performance Research at D-Wave, the practical quantum computing company. His work on quantum annealing ranges from studying hybrid performance and applications of D-Wave processors to quantum simulation of magnetic spin systems. His recent research has demonstrated a computational scaling advantage over classical Monte Carlo methods in the quantum simulation of geometrically frustrated lattice, offering the clearest look yet at relaxation dynamics of an open quantum system on over a thousand Ising spins. Andrew received his Ph.D in Computer Science at McGill University and has been with D-Wave since 2013.
