The model of adiabatic quantum computation has recently attracted attention in the physics and computer science communities, but its exact computational power has been unknown. We settle this question and describe an efficient adiabatic simulation of any given quantum algorithm. This implies that the adiabatic computation model and the standard quantum circuit model are polynomially equivalent. We also describe an extension of this result with implications to physical implementations of…

How powerful is adiabatic quantum computation?

It is argued that the adiabatic approach may be thought of as a kind of 'quantum local search', and a family of minimization problems that is hard for such local search heuristics are designed, and an exponential lower bound is established for the ad iabatic algorithm for these problems.
