Abstract
A method for computing using a quantum system comprising a plurality of superconducting qubits is provided. Quantum system can be in any one of at least two configurations including (i) an initialization Hamiltonian Hand (ii) a problem Hamiltonian H. The plurality of superconducting qubits are arranged with respect to one another, with a predetermined number of couplings between respective pairs of superconducting qubits in the plurality of qubits, such that the plurality of superconducting qubits, coupled by the predetermined number of couplings, collectively define a computational problem to be solved. In the method, quantum system is initialized to the initialization Hamiltonian H. Quantum system is then adiabatically changed until it is described by the ground state of the problem Hamiltonian H. The quantum state of quantum system is then readout thereby solving the computational problem to be solved.
