A study of the performance of D-Wave quantum computers using spanning trees

The performances of two D-Wave 2 machines (476 and 496 qubits) and of a 1097-qubit D-Wave 2X were investigated. Each chip has a Chimera interaction graph <i>G</i>. Problem input consists of values for the fields <i>h<sub>j</sub></i> and for the two-qubit interacti...
