Abstract

We present a study of the digitized quantum annealing protocol proposed by R. Barends et al. [Nature (London) 534, 222 (2016)NATUAS0028-083610.1038/nature17658]. Our analysis, performed on the benchmark case of a transverse Ising chain problem, shows that the algorithm has a well-defined optimal working point for the annealing time τPopt, scaling as τPopt∼P, where P is the number of digital Trotter steps, beyond which the residual energy error shoots up toward the value characteristic of the maximally disordered state. We present an analytical analysis for the translationally invariant transverse Ising chain case, but our numerical evidence suggests that this scenario is more general, surviving, for instance, the presence of disorder.
