Optimization by quantum annealing: lessons from hard satisfiability problems.
The path integral Monte Carlo simulated quantum annealing algorithm is applied to the optimization of a large hard instance of the random satisfiability problem (N = 10,000). The dynamical behavior of the quantum and the classical annealing are compared, showing important qualitative differences in the way of exploring the complex energy landscape of the combinatorial optimization problem. At v...
متن کاملSimulated annealing for hard satisfiability problems
Satisfiability (SAT) refers to the task of finding a truth assignment that makes an arbitrary boolean expression true. This paper compares a simulated annealing algorithm (SASAT) with GSAT (Selman et al., 1992), a greedy algorithm for solving satisfiability problems. GSAT can solve problem instances that are extremely difficult for traditional satisfiability algorithms. Results suggest that SAS...
متن کاملStudy of Optimization Problems by Quantum Annealing
We introduce quantum fluctuations into the simulated annealing process of optimization problems, aiming at faster convergence to the optimal state. Quantum fluctuations cause transitions between states and thus play the same role as thermal fluctuations in the conventional approach. The idea is tested by the two models, the transverse Ising model and the traveling salesman problem. Adding the t...
متن کاملHybrid Quantum Annealing for Clustering Problems
We develop a hybrid type of quantum annealing in which we control temperature and quantum field simultaneously. We study the efficiency of proposed quantum annealing and find a good schedule of changing thermal fluctuation and quantum fluctuation. In this paper, we focus on clustering problems which are important topics in information science and engineering. We obtain the better solution of th...
متن کاملEfficiency of quantum vs. classical annealing in nonconvex learning problems
Quantum annealers aim at solving nonconvex optimization problems by exploiting cooperative tunneling effects to escape local minima. The underlying idea consists of designing a classical energy function whose ground states are the sought optimal solutions of the original optimization problem and add a controllable quantum transverse field to generate tunneling processes. A key challenge is to i...
