Entanglement in a quantum annealing processor

T. Lanting, A. J. Przybysz, A. Yu. Smirnov +23

Entanglement lies at the core of quantum algorithms designed to solve problems that are intractable by classical approaches. One such algorithm, quantum annealing (QA), provides a…

Tunneling spectroscopy using a probe qubit

A. J. Berkley, A. J. Przybysz, T. Lanting +15

We describe a quantum tunneling spectroscopy technique that requires only low bandwidth control. The method involves coupling a probe qubit to the system under study to create a lo…

Finding low-energy conformations of lattice protein models by quantum annealing

Alejandro Perdomo-Ortiz, Neil Dickson, Marshall Drew-Brook +2

Lattice protein folding models are a cornerstone of computational biophysics. Although these models are a coarse grained representation, they provide useful insight into the energy…

An approximate diagonalization method for large scale Hamiltonians

Mohammad H. Amin, Anatly Yu. Smirnov, Neil G. Dickson +1

An approximate diagonalization method is proposed that combines exact diagonalization and perturbation expansion to calculate low energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a Hamilto…

Algorithmic approach to adiabatic quantum optimization

Neil G. Dickson, Mohammad H. Amin

It is believed that the presence of anticrossings with exponentially small gaps between the lowest two energy levels of the system Hamiltonian, can render adiabatic quantum optimiz…

Elimination of Perturbative Crossings in Adiabatic Quantum Optimization

Neil G. Dickson

It was recently shown that, for solving NP-complete problems, adiabatic paths always exist without finite-order perturbative crossings between local and global minima, which could…
