Quantum Neural Networks for a Supply Chain Logistics Application

Randall Correll, Sean J. Weinberg, Fabio Sanches +2

Problem instances of a size suitable for practical applications are not likely to be addressed during the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) period with (almost) pure quantum…

Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Truck Vehicle Routing Problems

Joshua Levin, Randall Correll, Takanori Ide +3

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has been shown to be effective in producing approximate solutions to some vehicle routing problems (VRPs), especially when using policies generated…

Supply Chain Logistics with Quantum and Classical Annealing Algorithms

Sean J. Weinberg, Fabio Sanches, Takanori Ide +2

Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware is almost universally incompatible with full-scale optimization problems of practical importance which can have many variables and…

Short Quantum Circuits in Reinforcement Learning Policies for the Vehicle Routing Problem

Fabio Sanches, Sean Weinberg, Takanori Ide +1

Quantum computing and machine learning have potential for symbiosis. However, in addition to the hardware limitations from current devices, there are still basic issues that must b…

The Boundary Dual of Bulk Local Operators

Fabio Sanches, Sean J. Weinberg

We provide a procedure to determine if a given nonlocal operator in a large N holographic CFT is dual to a local bulk operator on the geometry associated with a particular code sub…

Toward a Holographic Theory for General Spacetimes

Yasunori Nomura, Nico Salzetta, Fabio Sanches +1

We study a holographic theory of general spacetimes that does not rely on the existence of asymptotic regions. This theory is to be formulated in a holographic space. When a semicl…

Spacetime Equals Entanglement

Yasunori Nomura, Nico Salzetta, Fabio Sanches +1

We study the Hilbert space structure of classical spacetimes under the assumption that entanglement in holographic theories determines semiclassical geometry. We show that this sim…

Refinement of the Bousso-Engelhardt Area Law

Fabio Sanches, Sean J. Weinberg

Past holographic screens are codimension-one surfaces of indefinite signature that are foliated by marginally anti-trapped surfaces called leaves. Future holographic screens are de…

A Holographic Entanglement Entropy Conjecture for General Spacetimes

Fabio Sanches, Sean J. Weinberg

We present a natural generalization of holographic entanglement entropy proposals beyond the scope of AdS/CFT by anchoring extremal surfaces to holographic screens. Holographic scr…

Axion Isocurvature and Magnetic Monopoles

Yasunori Nomura, Surjeet Rajendran, Fabio Sanches

We propose a simple mechanism to suppress axion isocurvature fluctuations using hidden sector magnetic monopoles. This allows for the Peccei-Quinn scale to be of order the unificat…

Flat-space Quantum Gravity in AdS/CFT

Yasunori Nomura, Fabio Sanches, Sean J. Weinberg

Motivated by the task of understanding microscopic dynamics of an evolving black hole, we present a scheme describing gauge-fixed continuous time evolution of quantum gravitational…

The Black Hole Interior in Quantum Gravity

Yasunori Nomura, Fabio Sanches, Sean J. Weinberg

We discuss the interior of a black hole in quantum gravity, in which black holes form and evaporate unitarily. The interior spacetime appears in the sense of complementarity becaus…

Relativeness in Quantum Gravity: Limitations and Frame Dependence of Semiclassical Descriptions

Yasunori Nomura, Fabio Sanches, Sean J. Weinberg

Consistency between quantum mechanical and general relativistic views of the world is a longstanding problem, which becomes particularly prominent in black hole physics. We develop…
