Abstract: Adiabatic Quantum Computing (AQC) has been applied to solve optimization problems. It is based on the construction of Hamiltonian operators which codify the optimal solution of the given optimization problem. AQC makes use of the Adiabatic Theorem to approximate solutions of the Schrödinger equation in which a slow evolution occurs. The Hamiltonian operators used in AQC should be local for convenience. Local Hamiltonian operators are expressed as sums of Hamiltonians operating over a reduced number of qubits.
