More period finding with adiabatic quantum computation
  We extend the work of Hen for the Bernstein-Vazirani problem and Simon's problem on an adiabatic quantum computer. Our results are based on the Ising objective function for quantum annealing. For each problem we determine its objective function, describe its Hamiltonian matrix, and show the Hamiltonian matrix for a small problem. Following the pattern of Hen, we discuss factoring of integers, particularly Shor's factoring algorithm in an adiabatic quantum computing environment.
