“…However, these quantum Gibbs distributions are inaccurate when targeting a desired classical Gibbs distribution for sampling applications [6,18,52,53]. The recent insight from [17] is that when this hardware is operated at a low-energy scale (i.e., |J|, |h| ≤ 0.050) it behaves as a thermalized classical Gibbs sampler from H Ising but suffers from a notable amount of distortion from instantaneous noise in the local field parameters, h, on the order of 0.036 [45,54], resulting in so-called noisy Gibbs samples.…”
