Bounding first-order quantum phase transitions in adiabatic quantum computing

In the context of adiabatic quantum computation (AQC), it has been argued that first-order quantum phase transitions (QPTs) due to localization phenomena cause AQC to fail by exponentially decreasing the minimal spectral gap of the Hamiltonian along the annealing path as a function of the qubit numb...
