We present a quantum algorithm for approximating maximum independent sets of a graph based on quantum non-Abelian adiabatic mixing in the sub-Hilbert space of degenerate ground states, which generates quantum annealing in a secondary Hamiltonian. For both sparse and dense graphs, our quantum algorithm on average can find an independent set of size very close to $alpha(G)$, which is the size of the maximum independent set of a given graph $G$. Numerical results indicate that an $O(n^2)$ time complexity quantum algorithm is sufficient for finding an independent set of size $(1-epsilon)alpha(G)$. The best classical approximation algorithm can produce in polynomial time an independent set of size about half of $alpha(G)$.

We study the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles (MISR) problem: given a set of $n$ axis-parallel rectangles, find a largest-cardinality subset of the rectangles, such that no two of them overlap. MISR is a basic geometric optimization problem with many applications, that has been studied extensively. Until recently, the best approximation algorithm for it achieved an $O(log log n)$-approximation factor. In a recent breakthrough, Adamaszek and Wiese provided a quasi-polynomial time approximation scheme: a $(1-epsilon)$-approximation algorithm with running time $n^{O(operatorname{poly}(log n)/epsilon)}$. Despite this result, obtaining a PTAS or even a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation remains a challenging open problem. In this paper we make progress towards this goal by providing an algorithm for MISR that achieves a $(1 - epsilon)$-approximation in time $n^{O(operatorname{poly}(loglog{n} / epsilon))}$. We introduce several new technical ideas, that we hope will lead to further progress on this and related problems.
We give a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm for maximum independent set for (axis-aligned) rectangles in the plane. Using a polynomial-time algorithm, the best approximation factor previously known is $O(loglog n)$. The results are based on a new form of recursive partitioning in the plane, in which faces that are constant-complexity and orthogonally convex are recursively partitioned into a constant number of such faces.

Given a graph $G$, let $f_{G}(n,m)$ be the minimal number $k$ such that every $k$ independent $n$-sets in $G$ have a rainbow $m$-set. Let $mathcal{D}(2)$ be the family of all graphs with maximum degree at most two. Aharoni et al. (2019) conjectured t hat (i) $f_G(n,n-1)=n-1$ for all graphs $Ginmathcal{D}(2)$ and (ii) $f_{C_t}(n,n)=n$ for $tge 2n+1$. Lv and Lu (2020) showed that the conjecture (ii) holds when $t=2n+1$. In this article, we show that the conjecture (ii) holds for $tgefrac{1}{3}n^2+frac{44}{9}n$. Let $C_t$ be a cycle of length $t$ with vertices being arranged in a clockwise order. An ordered set $I=(a_1,a_2,ldots,a_n)$ on $C_t$ is called a $2$-jump independent $n$-set of $C_t$ if $a_{i+1}-a_i=2pmod{t}$ for any $1le ile n-1$. We also show that a collection of 2-jump independent $n$-sets $mathcal{F}$ of $C_t$ with $|mathcal{F}|=n$ admits a rainbow independent $n$-set, i.e. (ii) holds if we restrict $mathcal{F}$ on the family of 2-jump independent $n$-sets. Moreover, we prove that if the conjecture (ii) holds, then (i) holds for all graphs $Ginmathcal{D}(2)$ with $c_e(G)le 4$, where $c_e(G)$ is the number of components of $G$ isomorphic to cycles of even lengths.
We achieve a quantum speed-up of fully polynomial randomized approximation schemes (FPRAS) for estimating partition functions that combine simulated annealing with the Monte-Carlo Markov Chain method and use non-adaptive cooling schedules. The improv ement in time complexity is twofold: a quadratic reduction with respect to the spectral gap of the underlying Markov chains and a quadratic reduction with respect to the parameter characterizing the desired accuracy of the estimate output by the FPRAS. Both reductions are intimately related and cannot be achieved separately. First, we use Grovers fixed point search, quantum walks and phase estimation to efficiently prepare approximate coherent encodings of stationary distributions of the Markov chains. The speed-up we obtain in this way is due to the quadratic relation between the spectral and phase gaps of classical and quantum walks. Second, we generalize the method of quantum counting, showing how to estimate expected values of quantum observables. Using this method instead of classical sampling, we obtain the speed-up with respect to accuracy.
Finding a maximum or minimum is a fundamental building block in many mathematical models. Compared with classical algorithms, Durr, Hoyers quantum algorithm (DHA) achieves quadratic speed. However, its key step, the quantum exponential searching algo rithm (QESA), which is based on Grover algorithm, is not a sure-success algorithm. Meanwhile, quantum circuits encounter the gate decomposition problem due to variation of the scale of data. In this paper, we propose an optimized quantum algorithm for searching maximum and minimum, based on DHA and the optimal quantum exact search algorithm. Furthermore, we provide the corresponding quantum circuits, together with three equivalent simplifications. In circumstances when we can exactly estimate the ratio of the number of solutions M and the searched space N, our method can improve the successful probability close to 100%. Furthermore, compared with DHA, our algorithm shows an advantage in complexity with large databases and in the gate complexity of constructing oracles. Experiments have been executed on an IBM superconducting processor with two qubits, and a practical problem of finding the minimum from Titanic passengers age was numerically simulated. Both showed that our optimized maximum or minimum performs more efficiently compared with DHA. Our algorithm can serve as an important subroutine in various quantum algorithms which involves searching maximum or minimum.
