What is the quantum annealing?

Quantum annealing is a computational technique used in quantum computing to solve optimization problems. It involves manipulating the quantum states of a system to find the lowest energy state, which corresponds to the optimal solution of the problem. By gradually decreasing the system's energy, or "annealing" it, the quantum annealer explores different configurations and settles into the one with the lowest energy, thereby providing a solution to the optimization problem.
