We discuss quantum annealing of the two-dimensional transverse-field Ising model on a D-Wave device, encoded on $L times L$ lattices with $L le 32$. Analyzing the residual energy and deviation from maximal magnetization in the final classical state, we find an optimal $L$ dependent annealing rate $v$ for which the two quantities are minimized. The results are well described by a phenomenological model with two powers of $v$ and $L$-dependent prefactors to describe the competing effects of reduced quantum fluctuations (for which we see evidence of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism) and increasing noise impact when $v$ is lowered. The same scaling form also describes results of numerical solutions of a transverse-field Ising model with the spins coupled to noise sources. We explain why the optimal annealing time is much longer than the coherence time of the individual qubits.
We assess the prospects for algorithms within the general framework of quantum annealing (QA) to achieve a quantum speedup relative to classical state of the art methods in combinatorial optimization and related sampling tasks. We argue for continued
In order to treat all-to-all connected quadratic binary optimization problems (QUBO) with hardware quantum annealers, an embedding of the original problem is required due to the sparsity of the hardwares topology. Embedding fully-connected graphs --
Prediction of financial crashes in a complex financial network is known to be an NP-hard problem, which means that no known algorithm can guarantee to find optimal solutions efficiently. We experimentally explore a novel approach to this problem by u
Quantum chemistry is regarded to be one of the first disciplines that will be revolutionized by quantum computing. Although universal quantum computers of practical scale may be years away, various approaches are currently being pursued to solve quan
We study the application of a counter-diabatic driving (CD) technique to enhance the thermodynamic efficiency and power of a quantum Otto refrigerator based on a superconducting qubit coupled to two resonant circuits. Although the CD technique is ori
