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…
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…
A locally deterministic, detector-based model of quantum measurement
Brian R. La Cour
This paper describes a simple, causally deterministic model of quantum measurement based on an amplitude threshold detection scheme. Surprisingly, it is found to reproduce many phe…
