“We contrast this with the case of sampling from the output of a quantum computer running the Quantum Adiabatic Algorithm (QADI) with the restriction that the Hamiltonian that governs the evolution is gapped and stoquastic.”

“As stoquastic problems we use⟳ frustrated Ising Hamiltonians, having random local X and Z fields, and random σ_zσ_z couplings.”
