Emulating XX catalysts for quantum annealing via self-consistent transverse fields

Mohammadhossein Dadgar, Christopher L. Baldwin

Fully-connected transverse interactions have been considered as catalysts for quantum annealing that could mitigate exponentially small gaps and circumvent first-order phase transi…

Reaching states below the threshold energy in spin glasses via quantum annealing

Christopher L. Baldwin

Although quantum annealing is usually considered as a method for locating the ground states of difficult spin-glass and optimization problems, its use in approximate optimization -…

Adiabatic reverse annealing is robust to low-temperature decoherence

An Le, Christopher L. Baldwin

Adiabatic reverse annealing (ARA) is an improvement to conventional quantum annealing (QA) that uses an initial guess at the desired ground state to circumvent problematic phase tr…

Simulated outperforms quantum reverse annealing in mean-field models

Christopher L. Baldwin

Adiabatic reverse annealing (ARA) has been proposed as an improvement to conventional quantum annealing for solving optimization problems, in which one takes advantage of an initia…

The anomalously slow dynamics of inhomogeneous quantum annealing

Mohammadhossein Dadgar, Christopher L. Baldwin

Inhomogeneous quantum annealing (IQA), in which transverse fields are turned off one by one rather than simultaneously, has been proposed as an effective way to avoid the first-ord…

Sub-ballistic operator growth in spin chains with heavy-tailed random fields

Christopher L. Baldwin

We rigorously prove that in nearly arbitrary quantum spin chains with power-law-distributed random fields, namely such that the probability of a field exceeding scales as $h^{-…
