  2. 1. Applying quantum approximate optimization to the heterogeneous vehicle routing problem

    Author : David Fitzek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; combinatorial optimization; variational quantum algorithm; Quantum computing; quantum approximate optimization algorithm; vehicle routing;

    Abstract : Quantum computing offers new heuristics for combinatorial problems. With small- and intermediate-scale quantum devices becoming available, it is possible to implement and test these heuristics on small-size problems. READ MORE

  4. 2. For a Fistful of Qubits: Computational Quantum Chemistry on Near-Term Quantum Computers

    Author : Mårten Skogh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonadiabatic processes; quantum error mitigation; variational quantum algorithms; quantum computation; computational chemistry;

    Abstract : Quantum computing has been touted as a great new frontier of computation, pushing the limits of what we consider within reach of computation. While not all problems are expected to be efficiently solved by a quantum computer, quantum chemistry is among those where many have speculated on near-term quantum advantage. READ MORE

    Author : Henrik Jönsson; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; statistical physics; gravitation; relativity; annealing; variational; mean-field; phylogeny; constraint satisfaction; combinatorial optimization; maximum likelihood; Physics; Fysik; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; quantum mechanics; classical mechanics; klassisk mekanik; kvantmekanik; relativitet; statistisk fysik; termodynamik; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Jönsson; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; thermodynamics;

    Abstract : Algorithms based on the variational approach, as used in statistical physics, are developed. For constraint satisfaction problems a novel cost function, based on information-theoretic arguments, is introduced, and an algorithm similar to the mean-field annealing algorithm is proposed.

  6. 4. The quantum approximate optimization algorithm: optimization problems and implementations

    Author : Pontus Vikstål; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum approximate optimization algorithm; quantum computing; error mitigation; cat qubits;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), a hybrid classical-quantum algorithm designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems. The goal of this algorithm is to iteratively optimize a variational state to approximate the ground state of a cost Hamiltonian that encodes a combinatorial optimization problem. READ MORE
