Multilevel Combinatorial Optimization Across Quantum Architectures

2019 · TigerPrints (Clemson University)

Emerging quantum processors provide an opportunity to explore new approaches for solving traditional problems in the Post Moore's law supercomputing era. However, the limited number of qubits makes it infeasible to tackle massive real-world datasets …

Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm with Sparsified Phase Operator

2022 · 2022 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE)

The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a promising candidate algorithm for demonstrating quantum advantage in optimization using near-term quantum computers.However, QAOA has high requirements on gate fidelity due to the need to encode the …

Q3SAT-GPT: A Generative Model for Discovering Quantum Circuits for the 3-SAT Problem

2026 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

This work introduces Q3SAT-GPT, a generative model for discovering quantum circuits for the Max-E3-SAT problem. Our method learns from high-performing QAOA-style ansätze and generates candidate circuits that generalize beyond the training set. To create high-quality …
