Computational multiqubit tunnelling in programmable quantum annealers

Quantum tunnelling may be advantageous for quantum annealing, but multiqubit tunnelling has not yet been observed or characterized theoretically. Here, the authors demonstrate that 8-qubit tunnelling plays a role in a D-Wave Two device through a nonperturbative theory and experimental data.
