We built a three quantum bit nuclear magnetic resonance computer to simulate adiabatic quantum optimization. This quantum computing approach offers new insights into solving complex problems efficiently.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Computing
  • Quantum Simulation
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Background:

  • Adiabatic quantum algorithms provide a novel approach to leveraging quantum resources for complex problem-solving.
  • Simulating these algorithms is crucial for understanding their potential and limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To realize a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum computer capable of simulating an adiabatic quantum optimization algorithm.
  • To investigate the practical application of quantum resources in solving hard computational problems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a three quantum bit (qubit) NMR system specifically chosen for its suitability to the task.
  • Developed and implemented a technique to encode general optimization problems into an applicable Hamiltonian.
