Visualization Tools for Quantum Annealing Researchers

We present an information visualization investigation into the quantum annealing domain. We conduct original research to characterize the data and task abstractions in this field. The task and data abstractions that we explore are used as the basis of a new representation of the Chimera graph, an important part of the current quantum annelaing process. Our redesign reduces the visual clutter often associated with representations of the Chimera graph, while remaining familiar to users. We propose a system for examining an embedding, using our redesigned Chimera graph represenation.
