• Abstract: Quantum annealers play a major role in the ongoing development of quantum information processing and in the advent of quantum technologies. Their functioning is underpinned by the many-body adiabatic evolution connecting the ground state of a simple system to that of an interacting classical Hamiltonian which encodes the solution to an optimization problem. Here we explore more general properties of the dynamics of quantum annealers, going beyond the low-energy regime. We show that the unitary evolution operator describing the complete dynamics is typically highly quantum chaotic. As a result, the annealing dynamics naturally leads to volume-law entangled random-like states when the initial configuration is rotated away from the low-energy subspace. Furthermore, we observe that the Heisenberg dynamics of a quantum annealer leads to extensive operator spreading, a hallmark of quantum information scrambling. In all cases, we study how deviations from chaotic behavior can be identified when analyzing cyclic ramps, where the annealing schedule is returned to the initial configuration.

  We experimentally study collective dynamics across a (2+1)D Ising quantum phase transition. By deterministically preparing and following the evolution of ordered domains, we show that the coarsening is driven by the curvature of domain boundaries. We quantitatively explore these phenomena and further observe long-lived oscillations of the order parameter, corresponding to an amplitude (Higgs) mode.

  We propose a systematic and scalable scheme to probe the universal behaviors via imaginary-time critical dynamics on quantum computers. We successfully probe the universality by scaling analysis of the critical dynamics at an early time and with shallower quantum circuit depth. We also confirm the expected scaling behavior from experimental results on a superconducting quantum processor.
