Quantum-Inspired Constraint Satisfaction with Adaptive Randomness
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
Quantum-Inspired Constraint Satisfaction (QICS) presents a novel approach to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) by integrating quantum mechanics principles, specifically the concept of quantum tunneling, into the algorithm's search strategy. The core mechanism involves introducing a subtle 'quantum fluctuation' process that dynamically alters the search path, effectively encouraging the algorithm to escape local optima and explore the solution space more effectively. This research investigates the potential of this technique to surpass traditional CSP methods in terms of solution quality and efficiency. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach through theoretical analysis and preliminary experimentation, showcasing a significant improvement in performance compared to existing methods.
