First order phase transition in the Quantum Adiabatic Algorithm
A. P. Young, S. Knysh, V. N. Smelyanskiy
We simulate the quantum adiabatic algorithm (QAA) for the exact cover problem for sizes up to N=256 using quantum Monte Carlo simulations incorporating parallel tempering. At large…
Activated escape of periodically driven systems
M. I. Dykman, B. Golding, L. I. McCann +4
We discuss activated escape from a metastable state of a system driven by a time-periodic force. We show that the escape probabilities can be changed very strongly even by a compar…
Logarithmic susceptibility and optimal control of large fluctuations
M. I. Dykman, H. Rabitz, V. N. Smelyanskiy +1
We analyze the probabilities of large infrequent fluctuations in systems driven by external fields. In a broad range of the field magnitudes, the logarithm of the fluctuation proba…
