The Perturbed Ferromagnetic Chain: A Tuneable Test of Quantum Hardness in the Transverse-Field Ising Model
Daniel O'Connor, Louis Fry-Bouriaux, Paul Warburton
Quantum annealing in the transverse-field Ising model (TFIM) with open-system dynamics is known to use thermally-assisted tunneling to drive computation. However, it is still subje…

Locally Suppressed Transverse-Field Protocol for Diabatic Quantum Annealing
Louis Fry-Bouriaux, Daniel O'Connor, Natasha Feinstein +1
Diabatic quantum annealing (DQA) is an alternative algorithm to adiabatic quantum annealing (AQA) that can be used to circumvent the exponential slowdown caused by small minima in…
