Predicting Resource Efficient Hamiltonian Decomposition for Continuous-Time Quantum Walk Simulations

Mostafa Atallah, Rebekah Herrman, Zain H. Saleem

Simulating a continuous-time quantum walk (CTQW) on a graph in the circuit model of quantum computing requires decomposing its Hamiltonian into terms that can be Trotterized into h…

A matching decomposition algorithm for simulating quantum walk Hamiltonians

Mostafa Atallah, Alvin Gonzales, Daniel Dilley +3

In this work, we present a new algorithm for generating quantum circuits that efficiently implement continuous time quantum walks on arbitrary simple sparse graphs. The algorithm,…

Partitioned-Constraint QAOA (PC-QAOA): Structural State Preparation and Penalty Enforcement for Quantum Optimization

Anthony Wilkie, Alexander DeLise, Andrew Del Real +2

Constrained combinatorial optimization remains challenging for quantum algorithms because feasibility must be explicitly enforced, typically through penalty terms or problem-specif…

Layer-wise QUBO-Based Training of CNN Classifiers for Quantum Annealing

Mostafa Atallah, Rebekah Herrman

Variational quantum circuits for image classification suffer from barren plateaus, while quantum kernel methods scale quadratically with dataset size. We propose an iterative frame…
