We propose an algorithm inspired by optical coherent Ising machines to solve the problem of polynomial unconstrained binary optimisation (PUBO). We benchmark the proposed algorithm against existing PUBO algorithms on the extended Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model and random third-degree polynomial pseudo-Boolean functions, and observe its superior performance. We also address instances of practically relevant computational problems such as protein folding and electronic structure calculations with problem sizes not accessible to existing quantum annealing devices. In particular, we successfully find the lowest-energy conformation of lattice protein molecules containing up to eleven amino-acids. The application of our algorithm to quantum chemistry sheds light on the shortcomings of approximating the electronic structure problem by a PUBO problem, which, in turn, puts into question the applicability of quantum annealers in this context.

We present a classical algorithm to find approximate solutions to instances of quadratic unconstrained binary optimisation. The algorithm can be seen as an analogue of quantum annealing under the restriction of a product state space, where the dynamical evolution in quantum annealing is replaced with a gradient-descent based method. This formulation is able to quickly find high-quality solutions to large-scale problem instances, and can naturally be accelerated by dedicated hardware such as graphics processing units. We benchmark our approach for large scale problem instances with tuneable hardness and planted solutions. We find that our algorithm offers a similar performance to current state of the art approaches within a comparably simple gradient-based and non-stochastic setting.
The effect of boundary deformation on the non-separable entanglement which appears in the classical elec- tromagnetic field is considered. A quantum chaotic billiard geometry is used to explore the influence of a mechanical modification of the optical fiber cross-sectional geometry on the production of non-separable entan- glement within classical fields. For the experimental realization of our idea, we propose an optical fiber with a cross section that belongs to the family of Robnik chaotic billiards. Our results show that a modification of the fiber geometry from a regular to a chaotic regime can enhance the transverse mode entanglement. Our proposal can be realized in a very simple experimental set-up which consists of a specially designed optical fiber where non-entangled light enters at the input end and entangled light propagates out at the output end after interacting with a fiber boundary that is known to generate chaotic behavior.
Machine Learning (ML) helps us to recognize patterns from raw data. ML is used in numerous domains i.e. biomedical, agricultural, food technology, etc. Despite recent technological advancements, there is still room for substantial improvement in prediction. Current ML models are based on classical theories of probability and statistics, which can now be replaced by Quantum Theory (QT) with the aim of improving the effectiveness of ML. In this paper, we propose the Binary Classifier Inspired by Quantum Theory (BCIQT) model, which outperforms the state of the art classification in terms of recall for every category.
The optimisation of two-dimensional (2D) lattice ion trap geometries for trapped ion quantum simulation is investigated. The geometry is optimised for the highest ratio of ion-ion interaction rate to decoherence rate. To calculate the electric field of such array geometries a numerical simulation based on a Biot-Savart like law method is used. In this article we will focus on square, hexagonal and centre rectangular lattices for optimisation. A method for maximising the homogeneity of trapping site properties over an array is presented for arrays of a range of sizes. We show how both the polygon radii and separations scale to optimise the ratio between the interaction and decoherence rate. The optimal polygon radius and separation for a 2D lattice is found to be a function of the ratio between rf voltage and drive frequency applied to the array. We then provide a case study for 171Yb+ ions to show how a two-dimensional quantum simulator array could be designed.
