We give derivations and numerical recipes for effective parallel simulation methods for time-dependent open dynamics of quantum annealing devices. We consider the weak-coupling limit to an environment and also the case of $1/f$ noise. The stochastic time-dependent quantum trajectories technique can be utilized in studying weak measurements and feedback error correction in quantum annealing. Then we focus on opensystem descriptions of reverse annealing (RA), which is a promising variant and application of quantum annealing. We show that, with various simulation tools, reverse annealing can benefit from the interaction between the annealer and its environment.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.07231v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.07231v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"open-system-modeling-of-quantum-annealing","repo_url":"https://github.com/USCqserver/1fnoise","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
