In this review, after providing the basic physical concept behind quantum annealing (or
adiabatic quantum computation), we present an overview of some recent theoretical as well …

Rare regions, ie, rare large spatial disorder fluctuations, can dramatically change the
properties of a phase transition in a quenched disordered system. In generic classical …

There is a large variety of quantum and classical systems in which the quenched disorder
plays a dominant rôle over quantum, thermal, or stochastic fluctuations: these systems …

We study the effects of quenched disorder in a class of quantum chains with (p+ 1)-multispin
interactions exhibiting a free fermionic spectrum, paying special attention to the case p= 2 …

In the emerging quantum internet, complex network topology could lead to efficient quantum
communication and robustness against failures. However, there are concerns about …

The effect of quenched disorder on nonequilibrium phase transitions in the directed
percolation universality class is studied by a strong disorder renormalization group …

The infinite-disorder fixed point of the random transverse-field Ising model is expected to
control the critical behavior of a large class of random quantum and stochastic systems …

Quenched disorder—in the sense of the Harris criterion—is generally a relevant perturbation
at an absorbing state phase transition point. Here using a strong disorder renormalization …

We study the effects of dissipation on a disordered quantum phase transition with O (N)
order-parameter symmetry by applying a strong-disorder renormalization group to the …

Using a very efficient numerical algorithm of the strong disorder renormalization group
method, we have extended the investigations about the critical behavior of the random …
