Degeneracy, degree, and heavy tails in quantum annealing
Andrew D. King, Emile Hoskinson, Trevor Lanting +2
Both simulated quantum annealing and physical quantum annealing have shown the emergence of "heavy tails" in their performance as optimizers: The total time needed to solve a set o…
A frequency and sensitivity tunable microresonator array for high-speed quantum processor readout
J. D. Whittaker, L. J. Swenson, M. H. Volkmann +18
Superconducting microresonators have been successfully utilized as detection elements for a wide variety of applications. With multiplexing factors exceeding 1,000 detectors per tr…
Benchmarking a quantum annealing processor with the time-to-target metric
James King, Sheir Yarkoni, Mayssam M. Nevisi +2
In the evaluation of quantum annealers, metrics based on ground state success rates have two major drawbacks. First, evaluation requires computation time for both quantum and class…
Best-case performance of quantum annealers on native spin-glass benchmarks: How chaos can affect success probabilities
Zheng Zhu, Andrew J. Ochoa, Stefan Schnabel +2
Recent tests performed on the D-Wave Two quantum annealer have revealed no clear evidence of speedup over conventional silicon-based technologies. Here, we present results from cla…
Seeking Quantum Speedup Through Spin Glasses: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Helmut G. Katzgraber, Firas Hamze, Zheng Zhu +2
There has been considerable progress in the design and construction of quantum annealing devices. However, a conclusive detection of quantum speedup over traditional silicon-based…
Searching for quantum speedup in quasistatic quantum annealers
Mohammad Amin
We argue that a quantum annealer at very long annealing times is likely to experience a quasistatic evolution, returning a final population that is close to a Boltzmann distributio…
