Analytic Foundations of Thermal Quantum Annealing: Convergence Guarantees and Computational Advantage for Quantum Matrix Methods

2026 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Thermal Quantum Annealing (tQuA) is an open‑system quantum computing architecture in which an Ising‑type continuous variable array coupled non‑adiabatically to a thermal reservoir evolves toward the ground state of a target Hamiltonian by dissipating energy …
