Figure 8From: Improving quantum annealing by engineering the coupling to the environmentThe cumulative probability, \(P_{\text{c}}\), is shown for four runs, with random initial couplings. In two runs (red) these initial couplings are frozen and kept constant, while in the other runs κ is optimized (blue) in each step. Even for the ‘bad’ initial guesses the curves decrease faster.
