Researchers from Bio2Q and Keio University have demonstrated that introducing additional interactions between copies of a quantum optimization problem can improve the performance of quantum annealers. By exploiting a phenomenon known as frustration, their approach enables more reliable identification of optimal solutions, even with short computation times and challenging energy conditions. These f...
