• Title: Replication-based quantum annealing error mitigation
• Authors: Hristo N. Djidjev,
• Abstract summary: We propose a new approach called replication based mitigation (RBM) based on parallel quantum annealing. In RBM, physical qubits representing the same logical qubit are dispersed across different copies of the problem embedded in the hardware. This mitigates hardware biases, is compatible with limited qubit connectivity in current annealers, and is suited for available noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) annealers.

• Abstract: Quantum annealers like those from D-Wave Systems implement adiabatic quantum computing to solve optimization problems, but their analog nature and limited control functionalities present challenges to correcting or mitigating errors. As quantum computing advances towards applications, effective error suppression is an important research goal. We propose a new approach called replication based mitigation (RBM) based on parallel quantum annealing. In RBM, physical qubits representing the same logical qubit are dispersed across different copies of the problem embedded in the hardware. This mitigates hardware biases, is compatible with limited qubit connectivity in current annealers, and is suited for available noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) annealers. Our experimental analysis shows that RBM provides solution quality on par with previous methods while being compatible with a much wider range of hardware connectivity patterns. In comparisons against standard quantum annealing without error mitigation, RBM consistently improves the energies and ground state probabilities across parameterized problem sets.

  We show that long term trends in solution quality exist on the D-Wave device, and that the unused qubits can be used to measure the current level of noise of the quantum system. In this work, we embed a disjoint random QUBO on the unused parts of the chip alongside the QUBO to be solved, which acts as an indicator of the solution quality of the device over time.

  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.

  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.
