Using Azure Quantum Resource Estimator for Assessing Performance of Fault Tolerant Quantum Computation
Wim van Dam, Mariia Mykhailova, Mathias Soeken
The resource estimation tools provided by Azure Quantum and Azure Quantum Development Kit are described. Using these tools one can automatically evaluate the logical and physical r…
Quantum Optimization Heuristics with an Application to Knapsack Problems
Wim van Dam, Karim Eldefrawy, Nicholas Genise +1
This paper introduces two techniques that make the standard Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) more suitable for constrained optimization problems. The first techniq…
Expectation Values from the Single-Layer Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm on Ising Problems
Asier Ozaeta, Wim van Dam, Peter L. McMahon
We report on the energy-expectation-value landscapes produced by the single-layer () Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) when being used to solve Ising problems.…
Evolution-Time Dependence in Near-Adiabatic Quantum Evolutions
Lucas Brady, Wim van Dam
We expand upon the standard quantum adiabatic theorem, examining the time-dependence of quantum evolution in the near-adiabatic limit. We examine a Hamiltonian that evolves along s…
Necessary Adiabatic Run Times in Quantum Optimization
Lucas T. Brady, Wim van Dam
Quantum annealing is guaranteed to find the ground state of optimization problems in the adiabatic limit. Recent work [Phys. Rev. X 6, 031010 (2016)] has found that for some barrie…
Discrepancies between Asymptotic and Exact Spectral Gap Analyses of Quantum Adiabatic Barrier Tunneling
Lucas T. Brady, Wim van Dam
We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectral gap of simple barrier tunneling problems, which are related to using quantum annealing to find the global optimum of cost functions…
