Optimization Geometry of QAOA and Variational Quantum Algorithms
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka, Silvie Illésová +2
Variational quantum algorithms turn choices of Hamiltonian, ansatz, and parameterization into a classical nonconvex optimization problem. We study how this objective function can b…
Adaptive Rotation for iSOMA: Geometry, Benchmarking, and Noise Robustness in Variational Quantum Objectives
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka
We study whether the coordinate dependence of the improved Self-Organizing Migrating Algorithm (iSOMA) can be reduced while retaining its inexpensive leader-directed migration mech…
Adaptive Differential Evolution and Multistart Search for Noisy QAOA Optimization
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka, Swagatam Das +1
We benchmark classical optimization of a fixed low-depth Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) ansatz across four cost-Hamiltonian families at , , and .…
When is global evolutionary search useful for variational quantum algorithms? A landscape-first study
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka
Variational quantum algorithms recast state preparation as classical nonconvex optimization, but it is often unclear when multistart local search suffices and when population-based…
Optimization Landscape Geometry in VQE for Frustrated Quantum Spin Models
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka, Swagatam Das +1
We benchmark eight classical optimizers for exact-statevector VQE calculations on a controlled hierarchy of frustrated spin models, ranging from a diagonal Ising glass to transvers…
Linear Proposal Operators and Stochastic Search Geometry in SOMA and Differential Evolution
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka
Swarm and evolutionary algorithms are usually analyzed as complete procedural systems in which nonlinear selection, replacement, and adaptation obscure simpler structure within can…
Quantum Machine Learning for Colorectal Cancer Data: Anastomotic Leak Classification and Risk Factors
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka, Lenka Přibylová +3
This study evaluates colorectal risk factors and compares classical models against Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) for anastomotic leak prediction. Analyzing clinical data with 14\%…
A Longitudinal Analysis of the CEC Single-Objective Competitions (2010-2024) and Implications for Variational Quantum Optimization
Vojtěch Novák, Tomáš Bezděk, Ivan Zelinka +2
This paper provides a historical analysis of the IEEE CEC Single Objective Optimization competition results (2010-2024). We analyze how benchmark functions shaped winning algorithm…
Reliable Optimization Under Noise in Quantum Variational Algorithms
Vojtěch Novák, Silvie Illésová, Tomáš Bezděk +2
The optimization of Variational Quantum Eigensolver is severely challenged by finite-shot sampling noise, which distorts the cost landscape, creates false variational minima, and i…
From Classical to Hybrid: A Practical Framework for Quantum-Enhanced Learning
Silvie Illésová, Tomáš Bezděk, Vojtěch Novák +3
This work addresses the challenge of enabling practitioners without quantum expertise to transition from classical to hybrid quantum-classical machine learning workflows. We propos…
Quantum Machine Learning for Predicting Anastomotic Leak: A Clinical Study
Vojtěch Novák, Ivan Zelinka, Lenka Přibylová +2
Anastomotic leak (AL) is a life-threatening complication following colorectal surgery, and its accurate prediction remains a significant clinical challenge. This study explores the…
