They're not wrong that sampling a complex, higher-dimensional probability distribution is hard to do efficiently. I'm not sure how useful it is to do it more efficiently, though.

Also, the fact that they're using ultra-cold superconductors makes me wonder how much noise helps and how much it hurts. If your system is all about leveraging noise well, but you can only use super special well-behaved noise, then "bad noise" could easily ruin the quality of your generated solutions.

It's cool to see something so wacky out there, though!
