• Abstract: Parallel Quantum Annealing is a technique to solve multiple optimization problems simultaneously. Parallel quantum annealing aims to optimize the utilization of available qubits on a quantum topology by addressing multiple independent problems in a single annealing cycle. This study provides insights into the potential and the limitations of this parallelization method. The experiments consisting of two different problems are integrated, and various problem dimensions are explored including normalization techniques using specific methods such as DWaveSampler with Default Embedding, DWaveSampler with Custom Embedding and LeapHybridSampler. This method minimizes idle qubits and holds promise for substantial speed-up, as indicated by the Time-to-Solution (TTS) metric, compared to traditional quantum annealing, which solves problems sequentially and may leave qubits unutilized.
