Dissipation-Induced Deviations from Kibble-Zurek Scaling in Non-Hermitian Quantum Annealing

H. Najafzadeh, S. Sadeghizade, R. Jafari +1

We revisit the quantum annealing problem in the non-Hermitian transverse-field Ising model. We determine, both analytically and numerically, the intrinsic transition probabilities…
