Does QAOA require that the problem Hamiltonian be an Ising Hamiltonian as a quadratic function of the spin variables?

In the context of QAOA, I often see the problem Hamiltonian being called an "Ising Hamiltonian", and shortly after, I that the Hamiltonian is a quadratic function of the spin variables. Is ...

Can we easily find the ground states for one-dimensional ANNNI-like Ising models?

The Hamiltonian for a simple one-dimensional Ising model on a finite (linear) chain of $L$ spin-half particles might be: $$H = -J \sum_{i=0}^{L-1} \sigma_i^z \sigma_{i+1}^z.\tag{1}$$ The interactions ...

Understanding of the transverse-field Ising model

I want to make sure whether I do understand the transverse Ising model correctly or not. The classical Ising model describes the interaction between spins in a grid and the state of spins can be ...

Map a 4-body Ising Hamiltonian to a 2-body Ising Hamiltonian

I wonder if there exists a way to map the square of a 2-body Ising Hamtiltonian (which will make it 4-body) back to a 2-body Hamiltonian that has the same ground state? Let me explain what I mean by ...

Quantum Ising model correlation function query

In this paper on quantum Ising model dynamics, they consider the Hamiltonian $$\mathcal{H} = \sum_{j < k} J_{jk} \hat{\sigma}_{j}^{z}\hat{\sigma}_{k}^{z}$$ and the correlation function $$\mathcal{G}...
