- Abstract: Quantum annealers have grown in complexity to the point that quantum
computations involving few thousands of qubits are now possible. In this paper,
\textcolor{black}{with the intentions to show the feasibility of quantum
annealing to tackle problems of physical relevance, we used a simple model,
compatible with the capability of current quantum annealers, to study} the
relative stability of graphene vacancy defects. By mapping the crucial
interactions that dominate carbon-vacancy interchange onto a quadratic
unconstrained binary optimization problem, our approach exploits
\textcolor{black}{the ground state as well the excited states found by} the
quantum annealer to extract all the possible arrangements of multiple defects
on the graphene sheet together with their relative formation energies. This
approach reproduces known results and provides a stepping stone towards
applications of quantum annealing to problems of physical-chemical interest.

We also study the barren plateau phenomenon for the Hamiltonian in question and find that the severity of this effect depends on the encoding of fermions to qubits.
