A method for quantum computation is provided using a quantum system comprising a plurality of qubits. The system, at any given time, including configuration and characterized by an initialization Hamiltonian H 0, and a structure characterized by problem Hamiltonian H P, present in any one of at least two configurations May be. Problem Hamiltonian H P has a final state. Each respective first qubit in the qubit is arranged such that they define a predetermined bond strength relative to a respective second qubit in the qubit. A given bond strength between qubits in a plurality of qubits collectively defines the computational problem to be solved. In this way, the system is initialized to H 0, then until the system is described by the final state of the problem Hamiltonian H P, is adiabatically varied. The system state is then read by probing the observable of the σ X Pauli matrix operator. |
