We study errors of quantum annealing and simulated annealing to highlight better performance of quantum annealing over simulated annealing. Quantum annealing and simulated annealing perform optimization through a quantum adiabatic evolution and a quasi-static evolution respectively. In both methods, dynamics across a phase transition plays a crucial role. The Kibble-Zurek mechanism is known as ...

copper–silver bimetallic strips were produced by cold roll welding process and were treated by diffusion annealing in the temperature range 250–800 ?c. the interface bonding strength was determined by bending and peeling tests, resistance, conductivity and micro hardness profiles were determined and microstructure in the interface region was observed by optical microscope. electrical resistance...

We consider the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger (INLS) equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ $$i \partial_t u +\Delta +|x|^{-b} |u|^{2\sigma}u = 0,$$ where $N\geq 3$, $0<b<\min\left\{\frac{N}{2},2\right\}$ and $\frac{2-b}{N}<\sigma<\frac{2-b}{N-2}$. The scaling invariant Sobolev space is $\dot{H}^{s_c}$ with $s_c=\frac{N}{2}-\frac{2-b}{2\sigma}$. restriction on $\sigma$ implies $0<s_c<1$ called inte...

In the present work the recrystallization behavior of deep drawing grade Al-killed low carbon steel sheets produced by Mobarakeh Steel Plant (MSP) has been studied. Salt bath isothermal annealing has b...

in the present study, the influence of annealing temperature on mechanical properties and the microstructure of a high manganese austenitic steel (fe-30mn-4al-4si-0.5c) was investigated. x-ray diffractometry, optical and scanning electron microscopy, hardness and tensile tests were used to analyze the relationship between mechanical properties and microstructure after annealing process. the res...

the formation of nano/ultrafine grained ferrite in low carbon steels containing different amounts of niobiumwas investigated using thermomechanical treatment which consisted of annealing of 85% cold rolled martensite with different parameters. the specimens were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy and vickers hardness test. a lamellar dislocation cell structure was formed ...

Probing the lowest energy configuration of a complex system by quantum annealing was recently found to be more effective than its classical, thermal counterpart. By comparing classical and quantum Monte Carlo annealing protocols on the two-dimensional random Ising model (a prototype spin glass), we confirm the superiority of quantum annealing relative to classical annealing. We also propose a t...

A previous constitutive modeling for single-phase steels is extended using the mixing law to predict behavior of hot deformation in dual phase ferritic-austenitic intercritical zone Fe-C-Mn-Si alloys. Mixing considers two phases instead one, so one formula was modified. The constant’s values used represents average same conditions austenitic and ferritic model. amount each determined as functio...
