Abstract
En 中文
We present two novel contributions for achieving and assessing quantum advantage in solving difficult optimisation problems, both in theory and foreseeable practice. (1) We introduce the “Quantum Tree Generator” to generate in superposition all feasible solutions of a given 0-1 knapsack instance; combined with amplitude amplification, this identifies optimal solutions. Assuming fully connected logical qubits and comparable quantum clock speed, QTG offers perspectives for runtimes competitive to classical state-of-the-art knapsack solvers for instances with only 100 variables. (2) By introducing a new technique that exploits logging data from a classical solver, we can predict the runtime of our method way beyond the range of existing quantum platforms and simulators, for benchmark instances with up to 600 variables. Under the given assumptions, we demonstrate the QTG’s potential practical quantum advantage for such instances, indicating the promise of an effective approach for hard combinatorial optimisation problems.
