Constructing And Programming Quantum Hardware For Robust Quantum Annealing Processes
Among other things, an apparatus comprises quantum units; and couplers among the quantum units. Each coupler is configured to couple a pair of quantum units according to a quantum Hamiltonian characterization of the quantum by the coupler.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. An apparatus comprising:
quantum units; and couplers among the quantum units, each coupler being configured to couple a pair of quantum units such that a quantum Hamiltonian characterizing the quantum units and the couplers is: where Ei,m denotes disorders and gijmn defines general two-body interaction parameters, N is the total number of pairs of quantum units, i represents the ith pair of quantum unit, hi and Jij have real values that are associated with coupling strength between the quantum units of each pair of quantum units, and I(t), G(t), and P(t) are time-dependent control parameters.
