Improving Quantum Optimization Algorithms by Constraint Relaxation by Tomasz Pecyna, Rafał Różycki

“…Existing techniques attempt to mitigate these issues through employing different Hamiltonian encodings or Hamiltonian clause pruning, but they often rely on optimistic assumptions rather than a deep analysis of the problem structure. We demonstrate how to formulate the problem Hamiltonian for a quantum approximate optimization algorithm that satisfies all the requirements to correctly describe the considered tactical aircraft deconfliction problem, achieving higher probabilities for finding solutions compared to previous works. …”
