The benchmark tests show that the noise-free realization of QA can significantly outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms. Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the ...

This paper is an expository survey of results on integral representations and discrete sum expansions of functions in L 2 (R) in terms of coherent states. Two types of coherent states are considered: ...

This paper addresses the problem of optimizing a function over a finite or countably infinite set of alternatives, in situations where this objective function cannot be evaluated exactly, but has to ...
