A five-panel figure of diagrams and data, not a hardware photograph: a double-well energy landscape, the anneal schedule, a drawing of the annealer's qubit graph with a spin chain embedded, a sunburst chart of bubble configurations, and a magnetization map. It is Figure 1 of "Stirring the false vacuum via interacting quantized bubbles on a 5564-qubit quantum annealer" by Vodeb, Desaules, Hallam and co-authors. It shows an annealer used as an analog simulator: spins start in a metastable 'false vacuum' and decay by forming bubbles of flipped spins.“Fig. 1 — Figure 1: Realizing false vacuum decay on a quantum annealer. a The semi-classical energy landscape VV as a function of magnetization MM of a ferromagnetic…” by Jaka Vodeb et al., arxiv.org/abs/2406.14718, CC BY 4.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)A data plot in two panels: coloured maps showing whether a quantum-annealer run behaves as a refrigerator, engine or accelerator, plotted against the annealing parameter and the starting temperature. It comes from the paper arXiv 2608.04564 by Pawłowski, Deffner, Mzaouali and co-authors, using D-Wave Advantage2 data per the caption. It shows analog annealing evolution used as a tunable thermal machine; notice how the boundaries move with the annealing parameter.“Fig. 9 — Figure 9: Advantage2 operating mode maps for two dimensional RAU and CBFM instances.
