benefits from finite temperatures. We choose a system based on superconducting flux qubits as a
prominent example of current quantum annealing platforms. We propose coupling the qubit system
transversely to a coplanar waveguide to counter noise and heating that arise from always-present
longitudinal thermal noise. We provide a schematic circuit layout for the system and show how, for
feasible coupling strengths, we achieve global performance enhancements. Specifically, we achieve
cooling improvements of about 50% in the adiabatic and a few hundred percent in the non-adiabatic
regime, respectively.
