• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present a QUBO formulation designed to solve a series of generalisations of the LinkedIn queens game, a version of the N-queens problem. We adapt this formulation for several particular cases of the problem by trying to optimise the number of variables and interactions, improving the possibility of applying it on quantum hardware by means of Quantum Annealing or the Quantum Approximated Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). 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 apply variational quantum algorithm QAOA to a variant of satisfiability problem (SAT): Not-All-Equal SAT. We show that while the runtime of both solvers scales exponentially with the problem size, the scaling for QAOA is smaller for large enough circuit depths.

• Hybrid classical-quantum branch-and-bound algorithm for solving integer linear problems [0.0]
  Quantum annealers are suited to solve several logistic optimization problems expressed in the QUBO formulation. The solutions proposed by the quantum annealers are generally not optimal, as thermal noise and other disturbing effects arise when the number of qubits involved in the calculation is too large. We propose the use of the classical branch-and-bound algorithm, that divides the problem into sub-problems which are described by a lower number of qubits.

  Quantum approximate optimization algorithms (QAOAs) utilize the power of quantum machines and inherit the spirit of adiabatic evolution. We propose QAOA-in-QAOA ($textQAOA2$) to solve arbitrary large-scale MaxCut problems using quantum machines. Our method can be seamlessly embedded into other advanced strategies to enhance the capability of QAOAs in large-scale optimization problems.

• Adiabatic Quantum Graph Matching with Permutation Matrix Constraints [75.88678895180189]
  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.

Q-Match can be applied for shape matching problems iteratively, on a subset of well-chosen correspondences, allowing us to scale to real-world problems.
