Quantum-enhanced Monte Carlo Tree Search framework for combinatorial optimization problems
Yohan Finet, Yves Bérubé-Lauzière, Victor Drouin-Touchette
Over the past decades, the operations research community has developed numerous effective optimization algorithms, yet quantum computing is emerging as a new computational paradigm…
Iterative Optimization with Partial Convergence Guarantees on Neutral Atom Quantum Computers
Cédrick Perron, Yves Bérubé-Lauzière, Victor Drouin-Touchette
Neutral atom quantum computers (NAQCs) have emerged as a promising platform for solving the maximum weighted independent set (MWIS) problem. However, analog quantum approaches face…
Heuristics for Shuttling Sequence Optimization for a Linear Segmented Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer
J. Durandau, C. A. Brunet, F. Schmidt-Kaler +3
An algorithm for the generation of shuttling sequences is necessary for the operation of a linear segmented ion-trap quantum computer. The present work provides an implementation o…
Leveraging Analog Neutral Atom Quantum Computers for Diversified Pricing in Hybrid Column Generation Frameworks
Cédrick Perron, Yves Bérubé-Lauzière, Victor Drouin-Touchette
In this work, we develop new pulse designs and embedding strategies to improve the analog quantum subroutines of hybrid column generation (CG) algorithms based on neutral-atoms qua…
Triple-Tone Microwave Control for Sensitivity Optimization in Compact Ensemble Nitrogen-Vacancy Magnetometers
Ankita Chakravarty, Romain Ruhlmann, Vincent Halde +4
Ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are a well-established platform for quantum magnetometry under ambient conditions. One challenge arises from the hyperfine str…
