A Quantum-Inspired Classical Solver for Boolean k-Satisfiability Problems
S. Andrew Lanham, Brian R. La Cour
In this paper we detail a classical algorithmic approach to the k-satisfiability (k-SAT) problem that is inspired by the quantum amplitude amplification algorithm. This work falls…
Quantum contextuality in the Mermin-Peres square: A hidden variable perspective
Brian R. La Cour
The question of a hidden variable interpretation of quantum contextuality in the Mermin-Peres square is considered. The Kochen-Specker theorem implies that quantum mechanics may be…
Classical emulation of a quantum computer
Brian R. La Cour, Corey I. Ostrove, Granville E. Ott +2
This paper describes a novel approach to emulate a universal quantum computer with a wholly classical system, one that uses a signal of bounded duration and amplitude to represent…
A local hidden-variable model for experimental tests of the GHZ puzzle
Brian R. La Cour
The Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) puzzle has been used to study quantum nonlocality and provide an all-or-nothing, no-go theorem for local hidden-variable models. Recent experi…
Derivation of the Onsager Principle from Large Deviation Theory
Brian R. La Cour, William C. Schieve
The Onsager linear relations between macroscopic flows and thermodynamics forces are derived from the point of view of large deviation theory. For a given set of macroscopic variab…
Quantum decoherence emulated in a classical device
Brian R. La Cour, Corey I. Ostrove, Michael J. Starkey +1
We demonstrate that a classical emulation of quantum gate operations, here represented by an actual analog electronic device, can be modeled accurately as a quantum operation in te…
