Optimizing Schedules for Quantum Annealing
Daniel Herr, Ethan Brown, Bettina Heim +3
Classical and quantum annealing are two heuristic optimization methods that search for an optimal solution by slowly decreasing thermal or quantum fluctuations. Optimizing annealin…
Designing Adiabatic Quantum Optimization: A Case Study for the Traveling Salesman Problem
Bettina Heim, Ethan W. Brown, Dave Wecker +1
With progress in quantum technology more sophisticated quantum annealing devices are becoming available. While they offer new possibilities for solving optimization problems, their…
Nonstoquastic Hamiltonians and Quantum Annealing of an Ising Spin Glass
L. Hormozi, E. W. Brown, G. Carleo +1
We study the role of Hamiltonian complexity in the performance of quantum annealers. We consider two general classes of annealing Hamiltonians: stoquastic ones, which can be simula…
Assessment of Quantum Annealing for the Construction of Satisfiability Filters
Marlon Azinović, Daniel Herr, Bettina Heim +2
Satisfiability filters, introduced by S. A. Weaver et al. in 2014, are a new and promising type of filters to address set membership testing. In order to construct satisfiability f…
Partial Reinitialisation for Optimisers
Ilia Zintchenko, Matthew Hastings, Nathan Wiebe +2
Heuristic optimisers which search for an optimal configuration of variables relative to an objective function often get stuck in local optima where the algorithm is unable to find…
