Quantum-Enhanced Constraint Satisfaction (QCES) – Faster Solution for Optimization Problems
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper investigates the potential of Quantum Annealing (QA) to accelerate the solution of complex optimization problems, particularly those encountered in areas like logistics, resource allocation, and chemical synthesis. We propose a novel approach, Quantum-Enhanced Constraint Satisfaction (QCES), which leverages the strengths of QA to efficiently solve optimization problems by integrating it with traditional constraint satisfaction techniques. The core mechanism involves a hybrid algorithm that combines the advantages of both quantum annealing and constraint satisfaction, demonstrating a significant reduction in computational time compared to conventional methods. The paper details the architecture of the QCES system, explores its performance through simulations, and discusses potential future research directions.
