Numerical Errors in Quantitative System Analysis With Decision Diagrams

Sebastiaan Brand, Arend-Jan Quist, Richard M. K. van Dijk +1

Decision diagrams (DDs) are a powerful data structure that is used to tackle the state-space explosion problem, not only for discrete systems, but for probabilistic and quantum sys…

Hybrid divide-and-conquer approach for tree search algorithms

Mathys Rennela, Sebastiaan Brand, Alfons Laarman +1

One of the challenges of quantum computers in the near- and mid- term is the limited number of qubits we can use for computations. Finding methods that achieve useful quantum impro…
