Abstract

In this paper, it is demonstrated that solving an instance of the vertex cover problem of any graph G with m edges and n vertices can be implemented by Hadamard gates, NOT gates, CNOT gates, CCNOT gates, Grover's operators, and quantum measurements on a quantum computer. To test our theory, an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) experiment for the simplest vertex-cover problem is also performed.

Quantum Algorithms and Mathematical Formulations of Biomolecular Solutions of the Vertex Cover Problem in the Finite-Dimensional Hilbert Space

Weng-Long Chang, Ting-Ting Ren, Mang Feng

In this paper, it is shown that the proposed quantum algorithm for implementing Boolean circuits generated from the DNA-based algorithm solving the vertex-cover problem of any graph G with m edges and n vertices is the optimal quantum algorithm. Next, it is also demonstrated that mathematical solutions of the same biomolecular solutions are represented in terms of a unit vector in the finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Furthermore, for testing our theory, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment of three quantum bits to solve the simplest vertex-cover problem is completed.

Quantum Algorithms of Bio-molecular Solutions for the Clique Problem on a Quantum Computer

In this paper, it is demonstrated that the DNA-based algorithm [Ho et al. 2005] for solving an instance of the clique problem to any a graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and p edges and its complementary graph G1 = (V, E1) with n vertices and m = (((n*(n-1))/2)-p) edges can be implemented by Hadamard gates, NOT gates, CNOT gates, CCNOT gates, Grover's operators, and quantum measurements on a quantum computer. It is also demonstrated that if Grovers algorithm is employed to accomplish the readout step in the DNA-based algorithm, the quantum implementation of the DNA-based algorithm is equivalent to the oracle work (in the language of Grover's algorithm), that is, the target state labeling preceding Grover,s searching steps. It is shown that one oracle work can be completed with O((2 * n) * (n + 1) * (n + 2) / 3) NOT gates, one CNOT gate and O((4 * m) + (((2 * n) * (n + 1) * (n + 14)) / 6)) CCNOT gates. This is to say that for the quantum implementation of the DNA-based algorithm [Ho et al. 2005] a faster labeling of the target state is attained, which also implies a speedy solution to an instance of the clique problem.

A Simplified Quantum Approach Using Grover's Algorithm for Solving the Vertex Cover Problem

Mohamed Yassine Cherif, Wided Lejouad Chaari, Olfa Belkahla Driss

Quantum computing offers an accelerated mechanism for solving combinatorial optimization problems that could be hardly solvable with classical tools, in this context, this paper highlights the utility of quantum computing in solving NP-complete problems efficiently and shows up the importance of employing quantum algorithms achieving parallel calculation in the purpose of reducing the algorithmic complexity and simplifying the development of optimization applications. Within this publication, an optimized version of quantum circuit conception for developing the oracle of the Grover's search algorithm is introduced for solving the vertex cover problem, and it was also tested using the Qiskit library and applied to a set of instances to evaluate its performance.

Quantum algorithms for bio-molecular solutions to the satisfiability problem on a quantum computer

Weng-Long Chang, Ting-Ting Ren, Jun Luo +2 more

We demonstrate that the logic computation performed by the DNA-based algorithm for solving general cases of the satisfiability problem can be implemented by our proposed quantum algorithm on the quantum machine proposed by Deutsch. Moreover, we also prove that the logic computation by the bio-molecular operations proposed by Adleman can be implemented by quantum gates (for example, the Hadamard gate, NOT, CNOT, and CCNOT) on the quantum machine. Furthermore, those NP-complete problems solved on a bio-molecular computer are also solvable on a quantum computer. To test our theory, we carry out a three-qubit NMR experiment for solving the simplest satisfiability problem.
