Description

D-Wave uses so-called a quantum annealing process to solve problems of certain categories rather than universal quantum computers do. This research applies D-Wave quantum annealer to find ground state configurations of 2D Ising model. Due to its limitation in the number of qubits, D-Wave is used to update configuration of smaller sized sub-lattice, such as 4 by 4 etc., not of a whole 2D lattice. Results are compared and supplemented with those of a classical MCMC method, Metropolis algorithm. And I will talked about the possibility of D-wave application to particle experiment briefly.
