We propose a method to speed up the quantum adiabatic algorithm using catalysis by many-body delocalization. This is applied to random-field antiferromagnetic Ising spin models. The algorithm is catalyzed in such a way that the evolution approximates a Heisenberg model in the middle of its course, and the model is in a delocalized phase. We show numerically that we can speed up the standard algorithm for finding the ground state of the random-field Ising model using this idea. We also demonstrate that the speedup is due to gap amplification, even though the underlying model is not frustration-free. The crossover to speedup occurs at roughly the value of the interaction which is known to be the critical one for the delocalization transition. We also calculate the participation ratio and entanglement entropy as a function of time: their time dependencies indicate that the system is exploring more states and that they are more entangled than when there is no catalyst. Together, all these pieces of evidence demonstrate that the speedup is related to delocalization. Even though only relatively small systems can be investigated, the evidence suggests that the scaling of the method with system size is favorable. Our method is illustrated by experimental results from a small online IBM quantum computer, showing how to verify the method in future as such machines improve. The cost of the catalytic method compared to the standard algorithm is only a constant factor.
In classical computing, analog approaches have sometimes appeared to be more powerful than they really are. This occurs when resources, particularly precision, are not appropriately taken into account. While the same should also hold for analog quant
We report the realization of a nuclear magnetic resonance computer with three quantum bits that simulates an adiabatic quantum optimization algorithm. Adiabatic quantum algorithms offer new insight into how quantum resources can be used to solve hard
We provide a theoretical study of the quantum adiabatic evolution algorithm with different evolution paths proposed in [E. Farhi, et al., arXiv:quant-ph/0208135]. The algorithm is applied to a random binary optimization problem (a version of the 3-Sa
Designing proper time-dependent control fields for slowly varying the system to the ground state that encodes the problem solution is crucial for adiabatic quantum computation. However, inevitable perturbations in real applications demand us to accel
With quantum computers of significant size now on the horizon, we should understand how to best exploit their initially limited abilities. To this end, we aim to identify a practical problem that is beyond the reach of current classical computers, bu
