We propose an experimental method for evaluating the adiabatic condition during quantum annealing (QA), which will be essential for solving practical problems. The adiabatic condition consists of the transition matrix element and the energy gap, and our method simultaneously provides information about these components without diagonalizing the Hamiltonian. The key idea is to measure the power spectrum of a time domain signal by adding an oscillating field during QA, and we can estimate the values of the transition matrix element and energy gap from the measurement output. Our results provides a powerful experimental basis for analyzing the performance of QA.
我们提出了一种用于评估量子退火(QA)过程中绝热条件的实验方法,这对于解决实际问题至关重要。绝热条件由跃迁矩阵元和能隙组成,我们的方法无需对哈密顿量进行对角化即可同时提供有关这些分量的信息。关键思想是在量子退火过程中通过添加振荡场来测量时域信号的功率谱,并且我们可以从测量输出中估计跃迁矩阵元和能隙的值。我们的结果为分析量子退火的性能提供了有力的实验依据。
