Abstract
A true quantum quadratic optimizer is disclosed. An Ising type quantum array and a heat reservoir are included. This is used in solving mathematical problems.
Claims13
A device for solving continuous-variable quantum quadratic optimization problems, comprising:
- entangled qubits encoded with an Ising model problem coupled to a heat reservoir;
- wherein the Ising model problem expresses a continuous-variable quantum quadratic optimization problem;
- and
- wherein the entangled qubits evolve by thermalannealing, resulting in optimized solutions to the continuous-variable quantum quadratic optimization problem,
- wherein a temperature of a heat reservoir varies on a schedule such that each evolution of the entangled qubits occurs while the heat reservoir is at a desired temperature.
