abstract = {In recent years, quantum annealing has gained the status of
being a promising candidate for solving various optimization
problems. Using a set of hard 2-satisfiability (2-SAT)
problems, consisting of problems of up to 18 variables, we
analyze the scaling complexity of the quantum annealing
algorithm and study the distributions of the minimum energy
gap and the success probability. We extend the analysis of
the standard quantum annealing Hamiltonian by introducing an
additional term, the trigger Hamiltonian, which can be of
two types: ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic. We use these
trigger Hamiltonians to study their influence on the success
probability for solving the selected 2-SAT problems. We find
that although the scaling of the runtime is exponential for
the standard and modified quantum annealing Hamiltonians,
the scaling constant in the case of adding the trigger
Hamiltonians can be significantly smaller. Furthermore,
certain choices for the trigger Hamiltonian and annealing
times can result in a better scaling than that for simulated
annealing. Finally, we also use the quantum annealers of
D-Wave Systems Inc. to study their performance in solving
the 2-SAT problems and compare it with the simulation
results.},
