Energy gaps in quantum first-order mean-field-like transitions: The problems that quantum annealing cannot solve
T. Jorg, F. Krzakala, J. Kurchan +2
We study first-order quantum phase transitions in models where the mean-field traitment is exact, and the exponentially fast closure of the energy gap with the system size at the t…
Quantum Annealing of Hard Problems
Thomas Jorg, Florent Krzakala, Jorge Kurchan +1
Quantum annealing is analogous to simulated annealing with a tunneling mechanism substituting for thermal activation. Its performance has been tested in numerical simulation with m…
Simple Glass Models and their Quantum Annealing
Thomas Jorg, Florent Krzakala, Jorge Kurchan +1
We study first order quantum phase transitions in mean-field spin glasses. We solve the quantum Random Energy Model using elementary methods and show that at the transition the eig…
