(Top) Probability of being in the ground state (solid lines) over time for isolated (\(\kappa =0\)) and open system (\(\kappa _{i} \equiv \kappa = 0.001\)) for 7 qubits placed on an incomplete graph, where not all of them interacting with each other. The instantaneous energy (dashed lines) of both systems approaching the target energy. (Bottom) Populations of all 27 energy eigenstates at the end of the experiment for both systems
