We find the expected acceleration in the Laudau-Zener tunneling model and in the adiabatic quantum computing model for factorizing the number N=21.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-01-10T04:47:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "adiabatic process", "nonlinear sweeping", "adiabatic quantum computing model", "narrow gap region", "wide gap region" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1674-1056/22/9/090310", "journal": "Chinese Physics B", "year": 2013, "month": "Sep", "volume": 22, "number": 9, "pages": "090310" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013ChPhB..22i0310C" } } }
