• Title: The Combination Problem for Relational Quantum Mechanics
• Authors: Emily Adlam
• Abstract summary: I consider various proposed solutions to the panpsychist problem, assessing the prospects for a similar solution in the context of RQM. I argue that overall the prospects for solving RQM's combination problem look better for RQM with cross-perspective links than for orthodox versions of RQM.

• Abstract: This article uses the existing literature on the panpsychist combination problem as a starting point to think about how to address a structurally similar combination problem in relational quantum mechanics. I note some similarities and differences between the two problems, and I consider various proposed solutions to the panpsychist problem, assessing the prospects for a similar solution in the context of RQM. I argue that overall the prospects for solving RQM's combination problem look better for RQM with cross-perspective links than for orthodox versions of RQM.

• A QUBO Formulation for the Generalized LinkedIn Queens Game [49.1574468325115]
  We present a QUBO formulation designed to solve a series of generalisations of the LinkedIn queens game. We adapt this formulation for several particular cases of the problem by trying to optimise the number of variables and interactions. We also present two new types of problems, the Coloured Chess Piece Problem and the Max Chess Pieces Problem, with their corresponding QUBO formulations.

  We focus on variational quantum circuits (VQC), which emerged as the most promising candidates for the quantum counterpart of neural networks. Although showing promising results, VQCs can be hard to train because of different issues, e.g., barren plateau, periodicity of the weights, or choice of architecture. We propose a gradient-free algorithm inspired by natural evolution to optimize both the weights and the architecture of the VQC.

  A central component of variational quantum algorithms (VQA) is the state-preparation circuit, also known as ansatz or variational form. Here, we show that this approach is not always advantageous by introducing ans"atze that incorporate symmetry-breaking unitaries. This work constitutes a first step towards the development of a more general class of symmetry-breaking ans"atze with applications to physics and chemistry problems.
