First-order transitions and the performance of quantum algorithms in random optimization problems
T. Jorg, F. Krzakala, G. Semerjian +1
We present a study of the phase diagram of a random optimization problem in presence of quantum fluctuations. Our main result is the characterization of the nature of the phase tra…

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…
