Estimates of ground state energies for the quantum SK and 2D-EA models, using deGennes-Suzuki-Kubo mean-field annealing dynamics
Abstract
We perform large scale quantum annealing of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) spin glass up to a system size N=40000 to estimate its ground state energy using the deGennes-Suzuki-Kubo mean-field quantum Ising dynamics, extending the earlier results (reported in Eur. Phys. J. B {\bf 98}, 226 (2025)). Here we numerically solve the deGennes-Suzuki-Kubo annealing dynamics to obtain the spin configurations and subsequently the ground state energy for a given system size at the end of the annealing, starting from a quantum paramagnetic state. The method shows high efficiency, with an overall algorithmic cost of O(N3) in estimating the energy of the ground state. We later extend this quantum annealing study to estimate the ground state energies (starting again from the quantum paramagnetic phase, annealing down to any desired low value of the transverse field) for the Edwards-Anderson (EA) spin glass model on a square lattice.
