Abstract

A computer program product with computer program mechanism embedded therein is provided. The mechanism has instructions for initializing a quantum system, which includes a plurality of qubits, to an initialization Hamiltonian H.sub.O. The system is capable of being in one of at least two configurations at any give time including H.sub.O and a problem Hamiltonian H.sub.P. Each respective first qubit in the plurality of qubits is arranged with respect to a respective second qubit in the plurality of qubits such that the first respective qubit and the second respective qubit define a predetermined coupling strength. The predetermined coupling strengths between the qubits in the plurality of qubit collectively define a computational problem to be solved. The mechanism further comprises instructions for adiabatically changing the system until it is described by the ground state of the problem Hamiltonian H.sub.P and instructions for reading out the state of the system.
