Multivariable Optimization: Quantum Annealing & Computation

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-22 v3 Quantum Physics

Abstract

Recent developments in quantum annealing techniques have been indicating potential advantage of quantum annealing for solving NP-hard optimization problems. In this article we briefly indicate and discuss the beneficial features of quantum annealing techniques and compare them with those of simulated annealing techniques. We then briefly discuss the quantum annealing studies of some model spin glass and kinetically constrained systems.
