contents Adiabatic quantum computing has demonstrated how quantum Zeno can be used to construct quantum optimisers. However, much less work has been done to understand how more general Zeno effects could be used in a similar setting. We use a construction based on three state systems rather than directly in qubits, so that a qubit can remain after projecting out one of the states. We find that our model of computing is able to recover the dynamics of a transverse field Ising model, several generalisations are possible, but our methods allow for constraints to be implemented non-perturbatively and does not need tunable couplers, unlike simple transverse field implementations. We further discuss how to implement the protocol physically using methods building on STIRAP protocols for state transfer. We find a substantial challenge, that settings defined exclusively by measurement or dissipative Zeno effects do not allow for frustration, and in these settings pathological spectral features arise leading to unfavorable runtime scaling. We discuss methods to overcome this challenge for example including gain as well as loss as is often done in an optical setting.
