We review and comment on some of the recent developments in quantum annealing. In particular, we will comment on recent findings that quantum annealers may be best suited for finding a class of approximate solutions and on Google’s announcement of quantum annealers outperforming classical annealers by significant margins. This is not meant to be a comprehensive review and we apologize in advanc...

Lindsay (1991), in his comment CHARMed, but not Convinced: Comment on Metcalfe (1990), acknowledged that distributed models of human memory using the construct of a composite memory trace, such as the Composite Holographic Associative Recall Model (CHARM), are able to account for most of the findings within the eyewitness-testimony paradigm. Despite this success, Lindsay found CHARM to be of li...

We reply to the Comment by Aryanpour, Maier, and Jarrell [Phys. Rev. B 71, 037101 (2005)] on our paper [Phys. Rev. B 65, 155112 (2002)]. We demonstrate, using general arguments and explicit examples, that whenever the correlation length is finite, local observables converge exponentially fast in the cluster size Lc within cellular dynamical mean field theory. This is a faster rate of convergenc...

We appreciate the authors' comments in their reply: "On the identification of chromosomes with Raman spectroscopy: a critical comment" [Opt. Express 15, 5997 (2007)]. Their main concern with our paper is asking if the collected spectra have shown the identification or differentiation between three human chromosomes. We think this comment is flawed because the authors misunderstood the main poin...

Hillar and Sommer recently published a comment [3] on the validity of the fitness criterion used to search for free-form natural laws in experimental data [1]. The comment presents experimental and theoretical arguments that the particular fitness criterion evaluates to zero and assert that the algorithm described in the paper cannot accomplish the stated goals. They further propose an alternat...

After performing a prospective double blinded randomized study in neonates undergoing arterial switch operation, we suggested that myocardial protection was provided by preoperative dexa-methasone administration. Vitale and colleagues' [1] comment on our conclusions by pointing out the need of verifying the effect of preoperative dexamethasone in a large, randomized clinical trial. They base th...

de l'alimentation infantile. Nous discuterons ici l'intérêt de l'analyse séquentielle dans la description du comportement alimentaire et des interactions enfants-adultes et enfants-enfants au cours du repas. Cette approche est avantageuse parce qu'elle permet de mettre en relation des données du comportement alimentaire quand et comment l'enfant est exposé à quel aliment et des données du conte...
