Abstract
It is well known that electromagnetic computations are computationally demanding. Interestingly, many such problems can be recast to be solved by quantum annealing. Quantum annealing, a kind of quantum computer, utilizes quantum tunneling for state transitions, which enables one to find the global minimum in a complex energy landscape. Part I of this article explains quantum annealing for the classical electromagnetic community, assuming little knowledge of quantum theory. It reviews the basic principle and recent advances in quantum annealing to extend its applications, such as a hybrid quantum-classical annealing algorithm. Part II presents various examples of electromagnetic problems that can be solved by quantum annealing. These are 1) optimization of a reconfigurable directional metasurface, 2) finding current distribution in an arbitrary wire antenna, 3) finding charge and field distributions in a static condition, and 4) optimization of source excitation to focus fields in hyperthermia. Lastly, the performance of the quantum annealer is compared with classical solvers to deduce the type of applications in which a quantum annealer of current technologies can be preferred in practice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
