Abstract: The Boolean matching problem via NP-equivalence requires determining whether two Boolean functions are equivalent or not up to a permutation and negation of the input binary variables. Its solution is a fundamental step in the electronic design automation (EDA) tool chains commonly used for digital circuit design. In fact, the library-mapping step of an […]
Abstract: Analog circuits have emerged as a valuable quantum emulation and simulation platform. Specifically, they have been experimentally shown to excel in emulating coherent state vector dynamics and motifs of quantum circuits, such as the quantum Fourier transform, tensor product superpositions, two-level systems such as Josephson junctions, and nuclear magnetic resonance state dynamics, all on […]
Quantum-enhanced machine learning is a rapidly evolving field that aims to leverage the unique properties of quantum mechanics to enhance classical machine learning. However, the practical applicability of these methods remains an open question, particularly beyond the context of specifically crafted toy problems, and given the current limitations of quantum hardware. For more about this […]
Quantum error correction and the use of quantum error correction codes are likely to be essential for the realization of practical quantum computing. Because the error models of quantum devices vary widely, quantum codes that are tailored for a particular error model may have much better performance. For more about this article see link below. […]
Network utility maximization (NUM) addresses the problem of allocating resources fairly within a network and explores the ways to achieve optimal allocation in real-world networks. Although extensively studied in classical networks, NUM is an emerging area of research in the context of quantum networks. In this work, we consider the quantum network utility maximization (QNUM) […]
Finding the shortest vector in a lattice is a problem that is believed to be hard both for classical and quantum computers. Many major postquantum secure cryptosystems base their security on the hardness of the shortest vector problem (SVP) (Moody, 2023). Finding the best classical, quantum, or hybrid classical–quantum algorithms for the SVP is necessary […]
In this article, we apply a quantum optimization algorithm to solve a combinatorial problem with significant practical relevance occurring in clutch manufacturing. It is demonstrated how quantum optimization can play a role in real industrial applications in the manufacturing sector. Using the quantum annealer provided by D-Wave Systems, we analyze the performance of the quantum […]
The drug design process currently requires considerable time and resources to develop each new compound that enters the market. This work develops an application of hybrid quantum generative models based on the integration of parameterized quantum circuits into known molecular generative adversarial networks and proposes quantum cycle architectures that improve model performance and stability during […]

In this article, we study the problem of digital pre/postcoding design in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with 1-b resolution per complex dimension. The optimal solution that maximizes the received signal-to-noise ratio relies on an NP-hard combinatorial problem that requires exhaustive searching with exponential complexity. By using the principles of alternating optimization and quantum annealing (QA), […]
