Structured Adiabatic Quantum Search
arXiv:quant-ph/0208065
Abstract
We examine the use of adiabatic quantum algorithms to solve structured, or nested, search problems. We construct suitable time dependent Hamiltonians and derive the computation times for a general class of nested searches involving n qubits. As expected, we find that as additional structure is included, the Hamiltonians become more local and the computation times decrease.
