We construct an Ising Hamiltonian with an engineered energy landscape such that it has a local energy minimum which is near the true global minimum solution and further away from a false minimum. Using a technique established in previous experiments,... Read More about Experimental test of search range in quantum annealing.

The controlled SWAP test for determining quantum entanglement (2021)
Journal Article
Foulds, S., Kendon, V., & Spiller, T. (2021). The controlled SWAP test for determining quantum entanglement. Quantum Science and Technology, 6(3), Article 035002. https://doi.org/10.1088/2058-9565/abe458

Quantum entanglement is essential to the development of quantum computation, communications, and technology. The controlled SWAP test, widely used for state comparison, can be adapted to an efficient and useful test for entanglement of a pure state....

Energetic Perspective on Rapid Quenches in Quantum Annealing (2021)
Journal Article
Callison, A., Festenstein, M., Chen, J., Nita, L., Kendon, V., & Chancellor, N. (2021). Energetic Perspective on Rapid Quenches in Quantum Annealing. PRX Quantum, 2(1), Article 010338. https://doi.org/10.1103/prxquantum.2.010338

There are well-developed theoretical tools to analyze how quantum dynamics can solve computational problems by varying Hamiltonian parameters slowly, near the adiabatic limit. On the other hand, there are relatively few tools to understand the opposi... Read More about Energetic Perspective on Rapid Quenches in Quantum Annealing.
