When the first commercial quantum annealing devices became\u00a0available in 2011, there was palpable excitement that we were on the verge of demonstrating the first quantum advantage over\u00a0classical computing. This has not materialized yet; instead the physical realization of the algorithm in quantum annealers has\u00a0revealed many obstacles. \u00a0I will discuss how decoherence in various forms impedes a determination of the potential of the\u00a0algorithm, and how strict benchmarking standards and improving classical algorithms have set a high bar for the demonstration\u00a0of a quantum advantage. Our experience with quantum annealers will hopefully be valuable in evaluating future quantum\u00a0information processors in the Noisy-Intermediate Scale Quantum era.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.
