Annealing

mutable struct Annealing{constant_hamiltonian} <: OpenQuantumBase.AbstractAnnealing{constant_hamiltonian}

Annealing type defines the evolution of a time-dependent Hamiltonian in both closed-system and open-system settings. It is called Annealing because HOQST started as a toolbox for quantum annealing.

Fields

• H: Hamiltonian for the annealing.

• u0: Initial state for the annealing.

• annealing_parameter: Function of annealing parameter s wrt to t

• interactions: A system bath interaction set.
