Genuine Quantum Algorithms Inspired by Thermodynamics and Natural Phenomena
As low-noise medium-scale quantum devices are on the horizon, it is becoming increasingly important to find useful quantum algorithms that can be run on such devices. However, existing quantum algorithms typically only offer an advantage compared to advanced classical computers when run on large-scale quantum devices for rather long running times, urging us to find more effective quantum algorithms. This project aims to design new efficient Nature-inspired quantum algorithms and find new applications and use cases, through quantum generalisations of the Metropolis algorithm and Glauber dynamics, whose classical counterparts were also distilled from deeper understanding of physical models…
