In quantum adiabatic algorithm, as the adiabatic parameter $s(t)$ changes slowly from zero to one with finite rate, a transition to excited states inevitably occurs and this induces an intrinsic computational error. We show that this…

Quantum adiabatic optimization seeks to solve combinatorial problems using quantum dynamics, requiring the Hamiltonian of the system to align with the problem of interest. However, these Hamiltonians are often incompatible with the native…

The quantum adiabatic theorem ensures that a slowly changing system, initially prepared in its ground state, will evolve to its final ground state with arbitrary precision. As a first result this thesis extends the original theorem to…
