Reductions of QAOA Induced by Classical Symmetries: Theoretical Insights and Practical Implications
Boris Tsvelikhovskiy, Bao Bach, Jose Falla +1
The performance of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is closely tied to the structure of the dynamical Lie algebra (DLA) generated by its Hamiltonians, which de…
Provable avoidance of barren plateaus for the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm with Grover mixers
Boris Tsvelikhovskiy, Matthew Nuyten, Bojko N. Bakalov
We analyze the dynamical Lie algebras (DLAs) associated with the Grover-mixer variant of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (GM-QAOA). When the initial state is the uni…
Manipulable outcomes within the class of scoring voting rules
Mostapha Diss, Boris Tsvelikhovskiy
Coalitional manipulation in voting is considered to be any scenario in which a group of voters decide to misrepresent their vote in order to secure an outcome they all prefer to th…
Ring Theoretic Aspects of Quandles
Mohamed Elhamdadi, Neranga Fernando, Boris Tsvelikhovskiy
We associate to every quandle and an associative ring with unity , a nonassociative ring following [3]. The basic properties of such rings are inves…
