The nonmonotonic annealing schedules optimize the performance of quantum annealing for the all-to-all-interacting Ising model, improving the final ground-state fidelity without a notable increase in the instantaneous energy gap, highlighting the importance of a dynamical viewpoint alongside static analyses in the study of diabatic processes.
The annealing schedule is optimized for a parameter in the Lechner-Hauke-Zoller (LHZ) scheme for quantum annealing designed for the all-to-all-interacting Ising model representing generic combinatorial optimization problems. We adapt the variational approach proposed by Matsuura et al. (arXiv:2003.09913) to the annealing schedule of a term representing a constraint for variables intrinsic to the LHZ scheme with the annealing schedule of other terms kept intact. Numerical results for a simple ferromagnetic model and the spin-glass problem show that nonmonotonic annealing schedules optimize the performance measured by the residual energy and the final ground-state fidelity. This improvement does not accompany a notable increase in the instantaneous energy gap, which suggests the importance of a dynamical viewpoint in addition to static analyses in the study of practically relevant diabatic processes in quantum annealing.
