Keywords:local field,anneal,adiabatic

A computational method called local-field response is discussed, where spins evolve through responding to an effective field consisting of gradually decreasing transverse fields and spin-spin interactions, similar to what is done in adiabatic quantum computing (AQC). This method is partly quantum-mechanical, i.e., spins are treated as classical variables, but the response function of the spins to the effective field is determined a priori by referring to a quantum-mechanical calculation that was done for similar problems.
