Nested quantum annealing correction (NQAC) is an error correcting scheme for quantum annealing that allows for the encoding of a logical qubit into an arbitrarily large number of physical qubits. The encoding replaces each logical qubit by a complete graph of degree $C$. The nesting level $C$ represents the distance of the error-correcting code and controls the amount of protection against thermal and control errors. Theoretical mean-field analyses and empirical data obtained with a D-Wave Two quantum annealer (supporting up to $512$ qubits) showed that NQAC has the potential to achieve a scalable effective temperature reduction, $T_{rm eff} sim C^{-eta}$, with $eta leq 2$. We confirm that this scaling is preserved when NQAC is tested on a D-Wave 2000Q device (supporting up to $2048$ qubits). In addition, we show that NQAC can be also used in sampling problems to lower the effective temperature of a quantum annealer. Such effective temperature reduction is relevant for machine-learning applications. Since we demonstrate that NQAC achieves error correction via an effective reduction of the temperature of the quantum annealing device, our results address the problem of the temperature scaling law for quantum annealers, which requires the temperature of quantum annealers to be reduced as problems of larger sizes are attempted to be solved.
We present a general error-correcting scheme for quantum annealing that allows for the encoding of a logical qubit into an arbitrarily large number of physical qubits. Given any Ising model optimization problem, the encoding replaces each logical qub
The performance of open-system quantum annealing is adversely affected by thermal excitations out of the ground state. While the presence of energy gaps between the ground and excited states suppresses such excitations, error correction techniques ar
Quantum annealing provides a promising route for the development of quantum optimization devices, but the usefulness of such devices will be limited in part by the range of implementable problems as dictated by hardware constraints. To overcome const
New annealing schedules for quantum annealing are proposed based on the adiabatic theorem. These schedules exhibit faster decrease of the excitation probability than a linear schedule. To derive this conclusion, the asymptotic form of the excitation
By exploiting the exotic quantum states of a probe, it is possible to realize efficient sensors that are attractive for practical metrology applications and fundamental studies. Similar to other quantum technologies, quantum sensing is suffering from
