• Abstract: Quantum annealing has the potential to find low energy solutions of NP-hard problems that can be expressed as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems. However, the hardware of the quantum annealer manufactured by D-Wave Systems, which we consider in this work, is sparsely connected and moderately sized (on the order of thousands of qubits), thus necessitating a minor-embedding of a logical problem onto the physical qubit hardware. The combination of relatively small hardware sizes and the necessity of a minor-embedding can mean that solving large optimization problems is not possible on current quantum annealers. In this research, we show that a hybrid approach combining parallel quantum annealing with graph decomposition allows one to solve larger optimization problem accurately. We apply the approach on the Maximum Clique problem on graphs with up to 120 nodes and 6395 edges.

  We analyse the ability of quantum D-Wave annealers to find the maximum clique on a graph, expressed as a QUBO problem. We propose a decomposition algorithm for the complementary maximum independent set problem, and a graph generation algorithm to control the number of nodes, the number of cliques, the density, the connectivity indices and the ratio of the solution size to the number of other nodes.

  Quantum approximate optimization algorithms (QAOAs) utilize the power of quantum machines and inherit the spirit of adiabatic evolution. We propose QAOA-in-QAOA ($textQAOA2$) to solve arbitrary large-scale MaxCut problems using quantum machines. Our method can be seamlessly embedded into other advanced strategies to enhance the capability of QAOAs in large-scale optimization problems.

  Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) is most often approached in the tracking-by-detection paradigm, where object detections are associated through time. As these optimization problems are often NP-hard, they can only be solved exactly for small instances on current hardware. We show that our approach is competitive compared with state-of-the-art optimization-based approaches, even when using of-the-shelf integer programming solvers.

  We quantify scaling of the expected resource requirements by optimized circuits for hardware architectures with varying levels of connectivity. We show the number of measurements, and hence total time to synthesizing solution, grows exponentially in problem size and problem graph degree. These problems may be alleviated by increasing hardware connectivity or by recently proposed modifications to the QAOA that achieve higher performance with fewer circuit layers.

  Matching problems on 3D shapes and images are frequently formulated as quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with permutation matrix constraints, which are NP-hard. We propose several reformulations of QAPs as unconstrained problems suitable for efficient execution on quantum hardware. The proposed algorithm has the potential to scale to higher dimensions on future quantum computing architectures.
