Variational Quantum Eigensolver: A Comparative Analysis of Classical and Quantum Optimizer Methods

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) application for the Ising model as a testbed model, in which we thoroughly delved into several optimizers, both classical and quantum, and analyzed the extent to which each of these methods would offer a benefit. We then investigated a new combinatorial optimization scheme, termed […]

Quantum Annealing for Robust Principal Component Analysis

Abstract: Principal component analysis is commonly used for dimensionality reduction, feature extraction, denoising, and visualization. The most commonly used principal component analysis method is based upon optimization of the L2-norm; however, the L2-norm is known to exaggerate the contribution of errors and outliers. When optimizing over the L1-norm, the components generated are known to exhibit […]

Improving Decision Diagram-Based Quantum Circuit Simulation Using Static Variable Ordering and Multinode Ring Communication

Abstract: Currently, the development of quantum computers is active; however, large-scale machines remain limited and noisy. Furthermore, such quantum computers do not allow direct access to state vectors, posing challenges for quantum algorithm development. Quantum circuit simulators on classical computers offer a solution, with decision diagram (DD)-based simulators being particularly memory-efficient for representing quantum states. […]

Hardware-Aware and Resource-Efficient Circuit Packing and Scheduling on Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers

Abstract: The rapid expansion of quantum cloud services has led to long job queues due to single-tenant execution models that underutilize hardware resources. Quantum multiprogramming (QMP) mitigates this by executing multiple circuits in parallel on a single device, but existing methods target superconducting systems with limited connectivity, high crosstalk, and lower gate fidelity. Trapped-ion architecture, […]

Abstract: The discrete logarithm problem (DLP) over finite fields, commonly used in classical cryptography, has no known polynomial-time algorithm on classical computers. However, Shor has provided its polynomial-time algorithm on quantum computers. Nevertheless, there are only few examples simulating quantum circuits that operate on general pairs of modulo p and order q. In this article, […]
