Quantum walk in a reinforced free-energy landscape: Quantum annealing with reinforcement
Abolfazl Ramezanpour
Providing an optimal path to a quantum annealing algorithm is key to finding good approximate solutions to computationally hard optimization problems. Reinforcement is one of the s…
Entropy production of selfish drivers: Implications for efficiency and predictability of movements in a city
Indaco Biazzo, Mohsen Ghasemi Nezhadhaghighi, Abolfazl Ramezanpour
Characterizing the efficiency of movements is important for a better management of the cities. More specifically, the connection between the efficiency and uncertainty (entropy) pr…
Noisy Toric code and random bond Ising model: The error threshold in a dual picture
Mohammad Hossein Zarei, Abolfazl Ramezanpour
It is known that noisy topological quantum codes are related to random bond Ising models where the order-disorder phase transition in the classical model is mapped to the error thr…
Efficiency and irreversibility of movements in a city
Indaco Biazzo, Abolfazl Ramezanpour
We know that maximal efficiency in physical systems is attained by reversible processes. It is then interesting to see how irreversibility affects efficiency in other systems, e.g.…
Enhancing the efficiency of quantum annealing via reinforcement: A path-integral Monte Carlo simulation of the quantum reinforcement algorithm
A. Ramezanpour
The standard quantum annealing algorithm tries to approach the ground state of a classical system by slowly decreasing the hopping rates of a quantum random walk in the configurati…
Statistical Physics of Medical Diagnostics: Study of a Probabilistic Model
Alireza Mashaghi, Abolfazl Ramezanpour
We study a diagnostic strategy which is based on the anticipation of the diagnostic process by simulation of the dynamical process starting from the initial findings. We show that…
