• Abstract summary: We investigate the effects of sources of error including loss and spectral impurity on GBS applied to dense subgraph finding algorithms. We find that the effectiveness of these algorithms is remarkably robust to errors, to such an extent that there exist efficient classical algorithms that can simulate the underlying GBS.

• Abstract: Recent claims of achieving exponential quantum advantage have attracted attention to Gaussian boson sampling (GBS), a potential application of which is dense subgraph finding. We investigate the effects of sources of error including loss and spectral impurity on GBS applied to dense subgraph finding algorithms. We find that the effectiveness of these algorithms is remarkably robust to errors, to such an extent that there exist efficient classical algorithms that can simulate the underlying GBS. These results imply that the speedup of GBS-based algorithms for the dense subgraph problem over classical approaches is at most polynomial, though this could be achieved on a quantum device with dramatically less stringent requirements on loss and photon purity than general GBS.

  We propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for the NP-complete problem of determining if two graphs are minor of one another. We find a graph embedding that allows trading between the one-shot classification accuracy and the amount of input squeezing. We introduce a new classical algorithm based on graph spectra, which we show outperforms various well-known graph-similarity algorithms.

  We introduce the quantum-Gaussian process-upper confidence bound (Q-GP-UCB) algorithm. It is the first BO algorithm able to achieve a regret upper bound of O(polylog T), which is significantly smaller than its regret lower bound of Omega(sqrt(T)) in the classical setting. Thanks to our novel analysis of the confidence ellipsoid, our Q-GP-UCB with the linear kernel achieves a smaller regret than the quantum linear UCB algorithm.
