• Abstract: We introduce Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI), a quantum algorithm for reducing classical optimization problems to classical decoding problems by exploiting structure in the Fourier spectrum of the objective function. DQI reduces sparse max-XORSAT to decoding LDPC codes, which can be achieved using powerful classical algorithms such as Belief Propagation (BP). As an initial benchmark, we compare DQI using belief propagation decoding against classical optimization via simulated annealing. In this setting we present evidence that, for a certain family of max-XORSAT instances, DQI with BP decoding achieves a better approximation ratio on average than simulated annealing, although not better than specialized classical algorithms tailored to those instances. We also analyze a combinatorial optimization problem corresponding to finding polynomials that intersect the maximum number of points. There, DQI efficiently achieves a better approximation ratio than any polynomial-time classical algorithm known to us, thus realizing an apparent exponential quantum speedup. Finally, we show that the problem defined by Yamakawa and Zhandry in order to prove an exponential separation between quantum and classical query complexity is a special case of the optimization problem efficiently solved by DQI.

  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.

Such algorithms are usually implemented in a variational form, combining a classical optimization method with a quantum machine to find good solutions to an optimization problem. In this study we apply a Cross-Entropy method to shape this landscape, which allows the classical parameter to find better parameters more easily and hence results in an improved performance.
