In this review, after providing the basic physical concept behind quantum annealing (or
adiabatic quantum computation), we present an overview of some recent theoretical as well …

The recent success in quantum annealing, ie, optimization of the cost or energy functions of
complex systems utilizing quantum fluctuations is reviewed here. The concept is introduced …

This article reviews the physics of multipolar interactions and multipolar order in f-electron
systems, using the actinide dioxides as a paradigm. In the past few years, these apparently …

Quantum annealing is a generic name of quantum algorithms that use quantum-mechanical
fluctuations to search for the solution of an optimization problem. It shares the basic idea …

We review here some recent work in the field of quantum annealing, alias adiabatic
quantum computation. The idea of quantum annealing is to perform optimization by a …

Recent advance on quantum devices realizes an artificial quantum spin system known as
the D-Wave 2000Q, which implements the Ising model with tunable transverse field. In this …

Quantum annealing has been actively researched since D-Wave Systems produced the first
commercial machine in 2011. Controlling a large fleet of automated guided vehicles is one …

We discuss quantum annealing of the two-dimensional transverse-field Ising model on a D-
Wave device, encoded on L× L lattices with L≤ 32. Analyzing the residual energy and …

In solving optimization problems, objective functions generally need to be minimized or
maximized. However, objective functions cannot always be formulated explicitly in a …

We present here our study of the adiabatic quantum dynamics of a random Ising chain
across its quantum critical point. The model investigated is an Ising chain in a transverse …
