Introduction to Quantum Computing
Adiabatic Quantum Computing
Originally, adiabatic quantum computing (AQC) was an set of procedures or an approach to solving optimization problems using a quantum computer. AQC is a model that states the problem of finding the solution of a computational problem into the problem of obtaining the lowest energy eigenstate of a specified Hamiltonian.
Adiabatic: occurring without loss or gain of heat
"Thus, adiabatic quantum computing is an all-purpose approach to solving combinatorial optimization problems, or generally for finding the minimum of an objective function, using a quantum computer."
