RANDOM RANTDUMB Call it Quantum and you get people to go
  "oooh!".* sigh I read this.* Interesting read.* Looks very
  useful.* COULD it be called Quantum annealing?* Sure.* But it
  could also be called, *"HEY LET'S USE 2 VARIABLES instead of 1
  in the height dimension and make it shakey (quantum) so then we
  get... THREEEEE DIMENSIONS OOOOOOooooOOOooOOOo I hate BS wrapped
  up in spooky fundable terms like Quantum and Spin Glass
  (everybody loves Spin Glass now - all the rage; I like it too
  because it has... MEMORYYYY PROPERTIESSS.... just like
  USSSSSSssss".... [ so do a lot of things that we humans have*
  trouble writing the formulas to get math to predict ... because
  _MATH is fundamentally one dimensional itself ... ya-know... the
  *number line?* - and we get all spooked over Pi because it's
  circle drawn in TWO DIMENSIONSS........ and doesn't fit in 1
  dimension and cracks the number line.* duh . ] Not knocking math
  or the research... just the spookiness factor of it.* It's still
  cool but JUST CALL IT RANDOMIZED at key points instead of
  quantum and skip the BS.
