Analysis of the relation between quadratic unconstrained binary optimization and the spin-glass ground-state problem

We analyze the transformation of quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) from its conventional Boolean presentation into an equivalent spin-glass problem with coupled ±1 spin variables exposed to a site-dependent external field. We find that in a widely used testbed for QUBO, these fields...
