Polynomial-time Solver of Tridiagonal QUBO and QUDO problems with Tensor Networks (2309.10509v3)
Published 19 Sep 2023 in quant-ph and cs.ET
Abstract: We present an algorithm for solving tridiagonal Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems and Quadratic Unconstrained Discrete Optimization (QUDO) problems with one-neighbor interactions using the quantum-inspired technology of tensor networks. Our method is based on the simulation of a quantum state to which we will apply an imaginary time evolution and perform a series of partial traces to obtain the state of maximum amplitude, since it will be the optimal state. We will also deal with the degenerate case and check the polynomial complexity of the algorithm.
