Learning Based Hardware-Centric Quantum Circuit Generation

In this paper we present an approach to find quantum circuits suitable to mimic probabilistic and search operations on a physical NISQ device. We present both a gradient based and a non-gradient based machine learning approach to optimize the created quantum circuits. In our optimization procedure we make use of a cost function that...

A Quantum Annealing Approach for Solving Hard Variants of the Stable Marriage Problem

The Stable Marriage Problem (SMP) describes the problem, of finding a stable matching between two equally sized sets of elements (e.g., males and females) given an ordering of preferences for each element. A matching is stable, when there does not exist any match of a male and female which both prefer each other to their current partner under...
