The strongest evidence for superiority of quantum annealing on spin glass problems has come from comparing simulated quantum annealing using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods to simulated classical annealing [G. Santoro et al., Science 295, 2427(2002)]. Motivated by experiments on programmable quantum annealing devices we revisit the question of when quantum speedup may be expected for Ising spin glass problems. We find that even though a better scaling compared to simulated classical annealing can be achieved for QMC simulations, this advantage is due to time discretization and measurements which are not possible on a physical quantum annealing device. QMC simulations in the physically relevant continuous time limit, on the other hand, do not show superiority. Our results imply that care has to be taken when using QMC simulations to assess quantum speedup potential and are consistent with recent arguments that no quantum speedup should be expected for two-dimensional spin glass problems.

We discuss generation of series expansions for Ising spin-glasses with a symmetric $pm J$ (i.e. bimodal) distribution on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices using linked-cluster methods. Simplifications for the bimodal distribution allow us to go to hi
gher order than for a general distribution. We discuss two types of problem, one classical and one quantum. The classical problem is that of the Ising spin glass in a longitudinal magnetic field, $h$, for which we obtain high temperature series expansions in variables $tanh(J/T)$ and $tanh(h/T)$. The quantum problem is a $T=0$ study of the Ising spin glass in a transverse magnetic field $h_T$ for which we obtain a perturbation theory in powers of $J/h_T$. These methods require (i) enumeration and counting of textit{all} connected clusters that can be embedded in the lattice up to some order $n$, and (ii) an evaluation of the contribution of each cluster for the quantity being calculated, known as the weight. We discuss a general method that takes the much smaller list (and count) of all no free-end (NFE) clusters on a lattice up to some order $n$, and automatically generates all other clusters and their counts up to the same order. The weights for finite clusters in both cases have a simple graphical interpretation that allows us to proceed efficiently for a general configuration of the $pm J$ bonds, and at the end perform suitable disorder averaging. The order of our computations is limited by the weight calculations for the high-temperature expansions of the classical model, while they are limited by graph counting for the $T=0$ quantum system. Details of the calculational methods are presented.
We use a non-equilibrium simulation method to study the spin glass transition in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses. The transition point is repeatedly approached at finite velocity $v$ (temperature change versus time) in Monte Carlo simulations st
arting at a high temperature. The normally problematic critical slowing-down is not hampering this kind of approach, since the system equilibrates quickly at the initial temperature and the slowing-down is merely reflected in the dynamic scaling of the non-equilibrium order parameter with $v$ and the system size. The equilibrium limit does not have to be reached. For the dynamic exponent we obtain $z = 5.85(9)$ for bimodal couplings distribution and $z=6.00(10)$ for the Gaussian case, thus supporting universal dynamic scaling (in contrast to recent claims of non-universal behavior).
Disconnectivity graphs are used to visualize the minima and the lowest energy barriers between the minima of complex systems. They give an easy and intuitive understanding of the underlying energy landscape and, as such, are excellent tools for under
standing the complexity involved in finding low-lying or global minima of such systems. We have developed a classification scheme that categorizes highly-degenerate minima of spin glasses based on similarity and accessibility of the individual states. This classification allows us to condense the information pertained in different dales of the energy landscape to a single representation using color to distinguish its type and a bar chart to indicate the average size of the dales at their respective energy levels. We use this classification to visualize disconnectivity graphs of small representations of different tile-planted models of spin glasses. An analysis of the results shows that different models have distinctly different features in the total number of minima, the distribution of the minima with respect to the ground state, the barrier height and in the occurrence of the different types of minimum energy dales.
We study domain walls in 2d Ising spin glasses in terms of a minimum-weight path problem. Using this approach, large systems can be treated exactly. Our focus is on the fractal dimension $d_f$ of domain walls, which describes via $<ell >simL^{d_f}$ t
he growth of the average domain-wall length with %% systems size $Ltimes L$. %% 20.07.07 OM %% Exploring systems up to L=320 we yield $d_f=1.274(2)$ for the case of Gaussian disorder, i.e. a much higher accuracy compared to previous studies. For the case of bimodal disorder, where many equivalent domain walls exist due to the degeneracy of this model, we obtain a true lower bound $d_f=1.095(2)$ and a (lower) estimate $d_f=1.395(3)$ as upper bound. Furthermore, we study the distributions of the domain-wall lengths. Their scaling with system size can be described also only by the exponent $d_f$, i.e. the distributions are monofractal. Finally, we investigate the growth of the domain-wall width with system size (``roughness) and find a linear behavior.
We use high temperature series expansions to study the $pm J$ Ising spin-glass in a magnetic field in $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattices for $d=5, 6, 7$ and $8$, and in the infinite-range Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model. The expansions are obtain
ed in the variable $w=tanh^2{J/T}$ for arbitrary values of $u=tanh^2{h/T}$ complete to order $w^{10}$. We find that the scaling dimension $Delta$ associated with the ordering-field $h^2$ equals $2$ in the SK model and for $dge 6$. However, in agreement with the work of Fisher and Sompolinsky, there is a violation of scaling in a finite field, leading to an anomalous $h$-$T$ dependence of the Almeida-Thouless (AT) line in high dimensions, while scaling is restored as $d to 6$. Within the convergence of our series analysis, we present evidence supporting an AT line in $dge 6$. In $d=5$, the exponents $gamma$ and $Delta$ are substantially larger than mean-field values, but we do not see clear evidence for the AT line in $d=5$.
