4 System Hamiltonian: Adiabatic Quantum Algorithm H(t) = ( s(t))h init + s(t)h final for t [0, T ], s(0) = 0, s(t ) =. Initial Hamiltonian: H(0) = H init ground state known (easy to construct) Final Hamiltonian: H(T ) = H final ground state encodes the answer to the desired optimization problem Evolution path: s : [0, T ] [0, ], e.g., s(t) = t T T : running time of the algorithm Adiabatic Theorem: If H(t) evolves slowly enough (or T is large enough), the system remains close to the ground state of H(t) SOLUTION: ground state of H(T ) = H final!

5 Example (Final Hamiltonian for -SAT) For clause C = x i x j x k, define h C = ( + σz i )( σ z j )( + σ z k) h C x = { 0 if x satisfies C H final = otherwise C Clauses Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of σ z h C Recall: { σ z 0 = 0 σ z = (I σ z ) 0 = 0 0, (I σ z ) = (I + σ z ) = 0, (I + σ z ) 0 = 0

6 Example (Initial Hamiltonian for -SAT) n H inital = i σi x i= where i is the number of clauses in which x i appears. Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of σ x Recall: σ x = [ ] 0 0 eigenvalue eigenvector 0 + 0

7 Adiabatic Theorem: Running time vs Spectral gap For s(t) = t T. If T is large enough: ( ) poly(n) T = O gap, min then the system remains close to the ground state of H(t).

8 Adiabatic Theorem: Running time vs Spectral gap For s(t) = t T. If T is large enough: ( ) poly(n) T = O gap, min then the system remains close to the ground state of H(t). NOTE: /gap min is polynomial (exponential resp.), T is polynomial (exponential resp.). Question: What s gap min for the -SAT problem?

9 Adiabatic Time Complexity Computing spectral gaps directly is as hard as solving original problem Numerical methods: integration of Shrödinger equation, exact diagonization (spectral gaps), quantum monte carlo (spectral gaps) Ground state decomposition (GSD): unveil the quantum evolution blackbox (another talk )

10 Solving MIS On an Adiabatic Quantum Computer Recall: mis(g) = max Y(x,..., x n ) Max Y(x,..., x n ) = x i i V(G) Min E(s,..., s n ) = i V(G) h i s i + ij E(G) ij E(G) J ij x i x j J ij s i s j where h i = j nbr(i) J ij, for i V(G). In general, Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem: Max Y(x,..., x n ) = i V(G) c i x i ij E(G) J ij x i x j

11 Solving MIS On an Adiabatic Quantum Computer Recall: mis(g) = max Y(x,..., x n ) Max Y(x,..., x n ) = x i i V(G) Min E(s,..., s n ) = i V(G) h i s i + ij E(G) ij E(G) J ij x i x j J ij s i s j where h i = j nbr(i) J ij, for i V(G). In general, Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem: Max Y(x,..., x n ) = i V(G) c i x i ij E(G) J ij x i x j

12 Final Hamiltonian H final for Ising Problem Ising Problem: Min E(s,..., s n ) = h i s i + J ij s i s j i V(G) ij E(G) G : input graph H final = h i σi z + J ij σi z σj z. G : hardware graph i V(G) ij E(G)

13 Input Graph (G) vs Hardware Graph (U) Input Graph G Hardware Graph (U) What if G is NOT a subgraph of the hardware graph U?

15 IDEA: a b logical qubit: vertex in the input graph physical qubit: vertex in the hardware graph Question: Can two physical qubits a, b ACT AS one logical qubit? If so, how?

16 Definition The minor-embedding of G is defined by φ : G U such that each vertex i in V(G) is mapped to a (connected) subtree T i of U; there exists a map τ : V(G) V(G) E(U) such that for each ij E(G), there are corresponding i τ(i,j) T i and j τ(j,i) T j with i τ(i,j) j τ(j,i) E(U). G φ(g) = G emb

17 Definition The minor-embedding of G is defined by φ : G U such that each vertex i in V(G) is mapped to a (connected) subtree T i of U; there exists a map τ : V(G) V(G) E(U) such that for each ij E(G), there are corresponding i τ(i,j) T i and j τ(j,i) T j with i τ(i,j) j τ(j,i) E(U). G φ(g) = G emb

18 Minor-Embedding Reduction G emb : a minor-embedding of G Energy of the embedded Ising Hamiltonian: E emb (s,..., s N ) = h is i + J ijs i s j where V(G emb ) = N Reduction Minimum of E emb Minimum of E i V(G emb ) ij E(G emb )

19 Why does the minor-embedding work? Ferromagnetic(FM)-coupling: F < 0 E emb (s,..., s N ) = i V(G) i k V(T i ) h i k s ik + F pq i i pi q E(T i ) ij E(G) s ip s iq + J ij s iτ(i,j) s jτ(j,i) where i k V(T i ) h i k = h i Question: What should h s and F s be?

20 An Easy Upper Bound F i < ( h i + Idea: penalty or multiplier method Change the constrained problem: min E constrained (s,..., s N ) = subject to j nbr(i) i V(G) i k V(T i ) J ij ) h i k s ik + ij E(G) s ip s iq = for all i p i q E(T i ), i V(G) J ij s iτ(i,j) s jτ(j,i) Meaning: Spins of physical qubits that correspond to the same logical qubit are of the same sign.

21 Theorem (A Tighter Bound) (For chains topological-minor-embedding) ( def For i V(G), C i = j nbr(i) J ij h i ). Set { h i j k = sign(h i ) τ(j,i) Onbr(i k ) J ij C i / j τ(j,i) Onbr(i k ) J ij i k is a leaf of T i otherwise and F e i < C i /, for each e E(T i ). Then there is one-one correspondence between arg min E and arg min E emb. V. Choi. Minor-embedding in adiabatic quantum computation: I. The parameter setting problem. Quantum Inf.
