First Order Quantum Phase Transition in Adiabatic Quantum Computation
We investigate the connection between local minima in the problem Hamiltonian and first order quantum phase transitions during an adiabatic quantum computation. We demonstrate how some properties of the local minima can lead to an extremely small gap that is exponentially sensitive to the Hamiltonian parameters. Using perturbation expansion, we derive an analytical formula that can not only pre...
متن کاملEntanglement in a first-order quantum phase transition
We analyze the entanglement properties of the ground state for a system of spins half embedded in a magnetic field, mutually interacting antiferromagnetically. Contrary to the ferromagnetic case where a secondorder quantum phase transition occurs, a first-order transition is obtained at zero field and the so-called concurrence which measures the two-spin entanglement displays a jump at the tran...
متن کاملFirst-order phase transition in the quantum adiabatic algorithm.
We simulate the quantum adiabatic algorithm (QAA) for the exact cover problem for sizes up to N=256 using quantum Monte Carlo simulations incorporating parallel tempering. At large N, we find that some instances have a discontinuous (first-order) quantum phase transition during the evolution of the QAA. This fraction increases with increasing N and may tend to 1 for N-->infinity.
متن کاملQuantum first order phase transitions
The scaling theory of critical phenomena has been successfully extended for classical first order transitions even though the correlation length does not diverge in these transitions. In this paper we apply the scaling ideas to quantum first order transitions. The usefulness of this approach is illustrated treating the problems of a superconductor coupled to a gauge field and of a biquadratic H...
متن کاملAvoid First Order Quantum Phase Transition by Changing Problem Hamiltonians
In Amin and Choi [1], we show that an adiabatic quantum algorithm for the NP-hard maximum independent set (MIS) problem on a set of special family of graphs in which there are exponentially many local maxima would have the exponentially small minimum spectral gap and thus would require the exponential time, due to the first order quantum phase transition (FQPT). The problem Hamiltonian of the a...
