We review here the recent success in quantum annealing, i.e., optimization of the cost or energy functions of complex systems utilizing quantum fluctuations. The concept is introduced in successive steps through the studies of mapping of such computationally hard problems to the classical spin glass problems. The quantum spin glass problems arise with the introduction of quantum fluctuations, and the annealing behavior of the systems as these fluctuations are reduced slowly to zero. This provides a general framework for realizing analog quantum computation.

  1. Engineered dissipation for faster adiabatic state preparation

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Engineered dissipation via a filtered reservoir relaxes leaked population during adiabatic state preparation, improving runtime scaling from O(Δ^{-2}) to O(Δ^{-1}) when relaxation strength greatly exceeds the minimum gap.
