Abstract:

Solving combinatorial optimization problems effectively is an important research topic in numerous fields. While the classical solutions for most of these problems remain to be infeasible, there are several quantum methods which are aimed to either find or approximate an optimal solution.
In this work, a novel quantum circuit ansatz is proposed, that is specifically aimed to solve combinatorial optimization problems with constraints and has a better efficiency compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
