Abstract In this work we investigate a binned version of quantum phase estimation (QPE) set out by Somma (2019 New J. Phys. 21 123025) and known as the eigenvalue problem (QEEP). Specifically, determine whether circuit decomposition techniques in previous work, Clinton et al (2021 Nat. Commun. 12 1–10), can improve performance QEEP noisy intermediate scale (NISQ) regime. To end adopt physically...

Cellular Genetic Algorithms (cGAs) are a subclass of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in which the population diversity and exploration are enhanced thanks to the existence of small overlapped neighborhoods. Such a kind of structured algorithms is specially well suited for complex problems. In this paper we propose the utilization of some cGAs with and without including local search techniques for solv...

The frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) varies with the voltage applied to its tuning port. Operating in a phase-locked loop (PLL), the VCO provides a stable local oscillator (LO) for frequency conversion in superheterodyne receivers. VCOs are also used in transmit chains, where they upconvert the baseband signal to a radio frequency (RF) suitable for transmission over the airwav...

This article proposes the Two-Phase Local Search for finding a good approximate set of non-dominated solutions. The two phases of this procedure are to (i) generate an initial solution by optimizing only one single objective, and then (ii) to start from this solution a search for non-dominated solutions exploiting a sequence of different formulations of the problem based on aggregations of the ...
