摘要
En 中文
The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a promising method for solving certain classical combinatorial optimization problems on near-term quantum devices. When employing the QAOA to 3-SAT and Max-3-SAT problems, the quantum cost exhibits an easy-hard-easy or easy-hard pattern, respectively, as the clause density is changed. The quantum resources needed in the hard-region problems are out of reach for current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. We show by numerical simulations with up to 14 variables and analytical arguments that the adaptive-bias QAOA (ab-QAOA) greatly improves performance in the hard region of the 3-SAT problems and hard region of the Max-3-SAT problems. For similar accuracy, on average, ab-QAOA needs 3 levels for 10-variable 3-SAT problems as compared to 22 for QAOA. For 10-variable Max-3-SAT problems, the numbers are 7 levels and 62 levels. The improvement comes from a more targeted and more limited generation of entanglement during the evolution. We demonstrate that classical optimization is not strictly necessary in the ab-QAOA since local fields are used to guide the evolution. This leads us to propose an optimization-free ab-QAOA that can solve the hard-region 3-SAT and Max-3-SAT problems effectively with significantly fewer quantum gates as compared to the original ab-QAOA. Our work paves the way for realizing quantum advantages for optimization problems on NISQ devices.
