Open-System Quantum Annealing in Mean-Field Models with Exponential Degeneracy
Kostyantyn Kechedzhi, Vadim Smelyanskiy · Physical Review X · 2016
Intrinsic noise is unavoidable in quantum devices and represents a hindrance to implementing quantum computation. Despite the presence of noise, a quantum-annealing algorithm that involves quantum tunneling may provide computational advantages over simulated annealing.
