Resource Efficient Boolean Function Solver on Quantum Computer

Nonlinear boolean equation systems play an important role in a wide range of applications. Grover's algorithm is one of the best-known quantum search algorithms in solving the nonlinear boolean equation system on quantum computers. In this paper, we propose three novel techniques to improve the efficiency under Grover's algorithm framework. A W-cycle circuit construction introduces a recursive idea to increase the solvable number of boolean equations given a fixed number of qubits. Then, a greedy compression technique is proposed to reduce the oracle circuit depth. Finally, a randomized Grover's algorithm randomly chooses a subset of equations to form a random oracle every iteration, which further reduces the circuit depth and the number of ancilla qubits. Numerical results on boolean quadratic equations demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed techniques.

Weighted Trace-Penalty Minimization for Full Configuration Interaction

A novel unconstrained optimization model named weighted trace-penalty minimization (WTPM) is proposed to address the extreme eigenvalue problem arising from the Full Configuration Interaction (FCI) method. Theoretical analysis shows that the global minimizers of the WTPM objective function are the desired eigenvectors, rather than the eigenspace. Analyzing the condition number of the Hessian operator in detail contributes to the determination of a near-optimal weight matrix. With the sparse feature of FCI matrices in mind, the coordinate descent (CD) method is adapted to WTPM and results in WTPM-CD method. The reduction of computational and storage costs in each iteration shows the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Finally, the numerical experiments demonstrate the capability to address large-scale FCI matrices.
