Quantum annealers as programmable thermal machines

Jakub Pawłowski, Tomasz Śmierzchalski, Fengping Jin +3

Programmable quantum annealers are used for optimization, probabilistic sampling, and simulation, but their performance is commonly reported without the energy exchanged during com…

Thermodynamic significance of QUBO encoding on quantum annealers

Emery Doucet, Zakaria Mzaouali, Reece Robertson +3

Quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) is the standard interface to quantum annealers, yet a single constrained task admits many QUBO encodings whose penalty choices re…

Approaching the scaling limit of transport through lattices with dephasing

Subhajit Sarkar, Gabriela Wójtowicz, Bartłomiej Gardas +2

We examine the stationary--state equations for lattices with generalized Markovian dephasing and relaxation. When the Hamiltonian is quadratic, the single--particle correlation mat…

Simon's Period Finding on a Quantum Annealer

Reece Robertson, Emery Doucet, Zakaria Mzaouali +3

Dating to 1994, Simon's period-finding algorithm is among the earliest and most fragile of quantum algorithms. The algorithm's fragility arises from the requirement that, to solve…

Limitations of tensor network approaches for optimization and sampling: A comparison to quantum and classical Ising machines

Anna Maria Dziubyna, Tomasz Śmierzchalski, Bartłomiej Gardas +2

Optimization problems pose challenges across various fields. In recent years, quantum annealers have emerged as a promising platform for tackling such challenges. To provide a new…

On the Baltimore Light RailLink into the quantum future

Krzysztof Domino, Emery Doucet, Reece Robertson +2

In the current era of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) technology, quantum devices present new avenues for addressing complex, real-world challenges including potentially NP…
