The time or cost of simulating a quantum circuit by adiabatic evolution is determined by the spectral gap of the Hamiltonians involved in the simulation. In "standard" constructions based on Feynman's Hamiltonian, such a gap decreases…

It is known that the overlap of two energy eigenstates in a decaying quantum system is bounded from above by a function of the energy detuning and the individual decay rates. This is usually traced back to the positive definiteness of an…
