Quantum annealing is a novel method for combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we discuss the appropriate … choice of quantum fluctuations in quantum annealing. The existence of room of choices of quantum fluctuations is an advantage … of quantum annealing over simulated annealing. We consider the ferromagnetic interaction as a source of quantum …
