Adiabatic computing with two degrees of freedom of 2-local Hamiltonians has been theoretically shown to be equivalent to the gate model of universal quantum computing. But today’s quantum annealers, namely D-Wave’s 2000Q platform, only provide a 2-local Ising Hamiltonian abstraction with a single degree of freedom. This raises the question what subset of gate programs can be expressed as quadratic unconstrained binary problems (QUBOs) on the D-Wave. The problem is of interest because gate-based… Expand

Adiabatic Quantum Computation Is Equivalent to Standard Quantum Computation
TLDR
The adiabatic computation model and the standard circuit-based quantum computation model are polynomially equivalent, which allows one to state the main open problems in quantum computation using well-studied mathematical objects such as eigenvectors and spectral gaps of Hamiltonians. Expand
Adiabatic quantum computation is equivalent to standard quantum computation
TLDR
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, so this result implies that the adiABatic computation model and the standard quantum circuit model are polynomially equivalent.

Adiabatic Quantum Transistors
We describe a many-body quantum system that can be made to quantum compute by the adiabatic application of a large applied field to the system. Prior to the application of the field, quantum… Expand
Experimental signature of programmable quantum annealing.
TLDR
This experiment uses groups of eight superconducting flux qubits with programmable spin-spin couplings, embedded on a commercially available chip with >100 functional qubits, and suggests that programmable quantum devices, scalable with currentsuperconducting technology, implement quantum annealing with a surprising robustness against noise and imperfections.
