We consider the one-dimensional Schroedinger equation on a ring, with the cubic term, of either self-attractive or repulsive sign, confined to a narrow segment. This setting can be realized in optics and Bose-Einstein condensates. For the…

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…
