We introduce quantum fluctuations into the simulated annealing process of optimization problems, aiming at faster convergence to the optimal state. The idea is tested by the two models, the transverse Ising model and the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Adding the transverse field to the Ising model is a simple way to introduce quantum fluctuations. The strength of the transverse field is controlled as a function of time similarly to the temperature in the conventional method. TSP can be… 

Greedy parameter optimization for diabatic quantum annealing

A shorter processing time is desirable for quantum computation to minimize the effects of noise. We propose a simple procedure to variationally determine a set of parameters in the transverse-field

Mathematical foundation of quantum annealing

Quantum annealing is a generic name of quantum algorithms that use quantum-mechanical fluctuations to search for the solution of an optimization problem. It shares the basic idea with quantum

CORRIGENDUM: Optimization using quantum mechanics: quantum annealing through adiabatic evolution

We review here some recent work in the field of quantum annealing, alias adiabatic quantum computation. The idea of quantum annealing is to perform optimization by a quantum adiabatic evolution which

Optimization by quantum annealing: lessons from hard satisfiability problems.

The path integral Monte Carlo simulated quantum annealing algorithm is applied to the optimization of a large hard instance of the random satisfiability problem and a quantum cooling protocol based on field-cycling and able to outperform standard classical simulatedAnnealing over short time scales is introduced.

Convergence condition of simulated quantum annealing for closed and open systems

Simulated quantum annealing is a generic classical protocol to simulate some aspects of quantum annealing and is sometimes regarded as a classical alternative to quantum annealing in finding the

Dynamics of open quantum systems by interpolation of von Neumann and classical master equations, and its application to quantum annealing

We propose a method to interpolate dynamics of von Neumann and classical master equations with an arbitrary mixing parameter to investigate the thermal effects in quantum dynamics. The two dynamics

Degeneracy engineering for classical and quantum annealing: A case study of sparse linear regression in collider physics

This paper introduces the technique of degeneracy engineering, through which the relative degeneracy of the ground state is increased by modifying a subset of terms in the objective Hamiltonian, and shows how to cast (cid:96) 0 -norm regularization as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem, suitable for implementation on annealing platforms.

Relation between quantum fluctuations and the performance enhancement of quantum annealing in a nonstoquastic Hamiltonian
