Which stability issue occurs during adiabatic quantum computation when the energy gap is insufficiently large?

💡 Explanation

An insufficient energy gap promotes Landau-Zener transitions, which causes diabatic behavior as quantum states jump erratically due to environmental noise. This process causes decoherence, and noisy computation, because the system deviates from its original adiabatic path, rather than remaining stable.
