Adiabatic Quantum Computing relies on the quantum adiabatic theorem, which states that a quantum system evolves along its ground state with time if the governing Hamiltonian varies infinitely slowly. However, practical limitations force…

The adiabatic theorem refers to a setup where an evolution equation contains a time-dependent parameter whose change is very slow, measured by a vanishing parameter $\epsilon$. Under suitable assumptions the solution of the…
