The design of a quantum\na nnealing processor based on superconducting flux qubits\, some of the\ncha llenges we have encountered in constructing it\, and measurements\nconfirm ing the role of quantum mechanics in such processors will be\npresented. F inally\, I will briefly discuss recent benchmarking and\nsimulation result s using the D-Wave 2000Q processor.\n DTSTAMP:20250525T032810Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
