• Abstract: The feedback-based algorithm for quantum optimization (FALQON) has recently been proposed to solve quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems. This paper efficiently generalizes FALQON to tackle quadratic constrained binary optimization (QCBO) problems. For this purpose, we introduce a new operator that encodes the problem's solution as its ground state. Using Lyapunov control theory, we design a quantum control system such that the state converges to the ground state of this operator. When applied to the QCBO problem, we show that our proposed algorithm saves computational resources by reducing the depth of the quantum circuit and can perform better than FALQON. The effectiveness of our proposed algorithm is further illustrated through numerical simulations.

  Finding ground state solutions of diagonal Hamiltonians is relevant for both theoretical as well as practical problems of interest in many domains such as finance, physics and computer science. Here we use imaginary time evolution through a new block encoding scheme to obtain the ground state of such problems and apply our method to MaxCut as an illustration.

  Current quantum optimization algorithms require representing the original problem as a binary optimization problem, which is then converted into an equivalent Ising model suitable for the quantum device. We propose to design classical programs for computing the objective function and certifying the constraints, and later compile them to quantum circuits. This results in a new variant of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), which we name the Prog-QAOA.
