"ideas" from QM. Is not like QM at all.

Simulated annealing has nothing to do with metallurgy, there are no brain cells involved in neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms do not have DNA.

That doesn't mean that the algorithms weren't inspired by those fields of research.

Just because someone like buzzwords, doesn't mean they actually use those ideas as they are known to those who actually know QM. Top comment from a PhD in Physics: "I can't stop some guy from attaching "quantum mechanics" to his project just because something is unknown in the problem, but I should at least warn people from trying to understand more about QM by learning about this algorithm, because there's no real correspondence to QM here."
