Description

We suggest using the method of quantum annealing for computing the ground state of the Heisenberg spin chains. Our initial Hamiltonian describes a spin system in a highly non-uniform magnetic field. The initial Hamiltonian gradually transforms into the Heisenberg Hamiltonian, which describes the exchange interaction and the Zeeman interaction with the uniform magnetic field. We demonstrate quantum annealing for 2-, 3-, and 9-spin systems. In particular, we consider the alternate (ferro- and antiferromagnetic) exchange integral. By changing the sign of the exchange integrals we switch from the frustrated to the corresponding non-frustrated spin system. We discuss the similarity and difference between the frustrated and non-frustrated spin systems.
