contents Dating to 1994, Simon's period-finding algorithm is among the earliest and most fragile of quantum algorithms. The algorithm's fragility arises from the requirement that, to solve an n qubit problem, one must fault-tolerantly sample O(n) linearly independent values from a solution space. In this paper, we study an adiabatic implementation of Simon's algorithm that requires a constant number of successful samples regardless of problem size. We implement this algorithm on D-Wave hardware and solve problems with up to 298 qubits. We compare the runtime of classical algorithms to the D-Wave solution to analyze any potential advantage.
