K-spin Hamiltonian for quantum-resolvable Markov decision processes
Eric B. Jones, Peter Graf, Eliot Kapit +1
The Markov decision process is the mathematical formalization underlying the modern field of reinforcement learning when transition and reward functions are unknown. We derive a ps…

On the Computational Viability of Quantum Optimization for PMU Placement
Eric B. Jones, Eliot Kapit, Chin-Yao Chang +4
Using optimal phasor measurement unit placement as a prototypical problem, we assess the computational viability of the current generation D-Wave Systems 2000Q quantum annealer for…

The Glassy Solid as a Statistical Ensemble of Crystalline Microstates
Eric B. Jones, Vladan Stevanovic
Motivated by the concept of partial ergodicity, we present an alternative description of covalent and ionic glassy solids as statistical ensembles of crystalline local minima on th…
