Quantum annealing is a quantum form of neural net. The Lagrangian form used in neural networks is quantized. The minimal configuration a neural network enters into as the "solution" is simply the attractor point or set for a quantum system. This is not quite the same as quantum computing with quantum bits. This is also in some ways sem-classical.
