Performance of the quantum adiabatic algorithm on random instances of two optimization problems on regular hypergraphs

In this paper we study the performance of the quantum adiabatic algorithm on random instances of two combinatorial optimization problems, 3-regular 3-XORSAT and 3-regular max-cut. The cost functions associated with these two clause-based optimization problems are similar as they are both defined on...
