Adiabatic optimization versus diffusion Monte Carlo
Michael Jarret, Stephen P. Jordan, Brad Lackey
Most experimental and theoretical studies of adiabatic optimization use stoquastic Hamiltonians, whose ground states are expressible using only real nonnegative amplitudes. This ra…

Adiabatic optimization without local minima
Michael Jarret, Stephen P. Jordan
Several previous works have investigated the circumstances under which quantum adiabatic optimization algorithms can tunnel out of local energy minima that trap simulated annealing…

The Fundamental Gap for a Class of Schrödinger Operators on Path and Hypercube Graphs
Michael Jarret, Stephen P. Jordan
We consider the difference between the two lowest eigenvalues (the fundamental gap) of a Schrödinger operator acting on a class of graphs. In particular, we derive tight bounds for…
