TY - JOUR T1 - Robustness of adiabatic quantum computation JF - Physical Review A Y1 - 2001 A1 - Andrew M. Childs A1 - Edward Farhi A1 - John Preskill AB - We study the fault tolerance of quantum computation by adiabatic evolution, a quantum algorithm for solving various combinatorial search problems. We describe an inherent robustness of adiabatic computation against two kinds of errors, unitary control errors and decoherence, and we study this robustness using numerical simulations of the algorithm.
