Query: Semiclassical approach to finite temperature quantum annealing with
  trapped ions   Recently it has been demonstrated that an ensemble of trapped ions may serve
as a quantum annealer for the number-partitioning problem [Nature Comm. DOI:
10.1038/ncomms11524]. This hard computational problem may be addressed
employing a tunable spin glass architecture. Following the proposal of the
trapped ions annealer, we study here its robustness against thermal effects,
that is, we investigate the role played by thermal phonons. For the efficient
description of the system, we use a semiclassical approach, and benchmark it
against the exact quantum evolution. The aim is to understand better and
characterize how the quantum device approaches a solution of, an otherwise,
difficult to solve NP-hard problem.
