热启动量子优化

Warm-starting quantum optimization

Daniel J. Egger, Jakub Marecek, Stefan Woerner

摘要:

量子算法在整数规划和组合优化问题中的应用越来越受到人们的关注。这类问题的经典求解器采用松弛法,用连续变量代替二进制变量,例如高维矩阵值问题(半定规划)。在唯一博弈猜想下,这些松弛通常在多项式时间内提供经典的最佳性能比。在这里,我们讨论了如何热启动量子优化与初始状态对应的组合优化问题的松弛的解决方案,以及如何分析相关的量子算法的属性。特别是,这允许量子算法继承经典算法的性能保证。我们说明了这一点,在投资组合优化的背景下,我们的研究结果表明,热启动量子近似优化算法(QAOA)是特别有益的,在低深度。同样,递归QAOA的MAXCUT问题显示了一个系统的增加,在所获得的切割的大小与随机权重的全连通图,当Goemans-Williamson随机舍入是利用在一个温暖的开始。将相同的思想应用于其他随机化舍入方案和优化问题是很简单的。

英文摘要:

There is an increasing interest in quantum algorithms for problems of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. Classical solvers for such problems employ relaxations, which replace binary variables with continuous ones, for instance in the form of higher-dimensional matrix-valued problems (semidefinite programming). Under the Unique Games Conjecture, these relaxations often provide the best performance ratios available classically in polynomial time. Here, we discuss how to warm-start quantum optimization with an initial state corresponding to the solution of a relaxation of a combinatorial optimization problem and how to analyze properties of the associated quantum algorithms. In particular, this allows the quantum algorithm to inherit the performance guarantees of the classical algorithm. We illustrate this in the context of portfolio optimization, where our results indicate that warm-starting the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is particularly beneficial at low depth. Likewise, Recursive QAOA for MAXCUT problems shows a systematic increase in the size of the obtained cut for fully connected graphs with random weights, when Goemans-Williamson randomized rounding is utilized in a warm start. It is straightforward to apply the same ideas to other randomized-rounding schemes and optimization problems.
