| contents | Adiabatic transformation can be approximated as alternating unitary operators of a Hamiltonian and its parameter derivative as proposed in a gate-based approach to counterdiabatic driving (van Vreumingen, arXiv:2406.08064). In this paper, we conduct numerical benchmarking of this alternating unitary method in a finite-parameter range against adiabatic driving in nonadiabatic timescale. We find that the alternating unitary method results in broader distribution on energy eigenstates than that obtained by adiabatic driving, but it has ability to sample low-energy eigenstates when an energy gap of a given Hamiltonian is small. It indicates that the alternating unitary method may be able to find good approximate solutions in quantum annealing applied to hard instances. |
