Sequences of selective rotation operators to engineer interactions for quantum annealing on three qutrits

Abstract

We have done simulating of factorization the number 15 on three qutrits, represented by the spins S = 1, by quantum annealing. We assume that strong one-spin interaction allow selectively operate on different transitions between levels of the each qutrit. We present a sequence of selective rotation operators to engineer from dipole-dipole interaction a time-dependent effective Hamiltonian necessary for solving the problem. Also we find dependence of fidelity versus different parameters: magnetic field, total annealing time, and duration of time step, when the continuous variation of the Hamiltonian is replaced by a discrete one.
