Abstract
This paper introduces an improved Grover Adaptive Search (GAS) algorithm. The GAS algorithm has been prove to achieve quadratic acceleration in the Constrained Polynomial Binary Optimization (CPBO) problem. Nevertheless, the acceleration effect of the GAS algorithm can be decreased by the poor threshold selection. This article uses the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) to improve the initial threshold selection, thereby accelerating the convergence speed of the original GAS algorithm. The acceleration effect of the improved GAS algorithm is presented by the Max-Cut problem and the CPBO problem.
期刊介绍:
Entropy (ISSN 1099-4300), an international and interdisciplinary journal of entropy and information studies, publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish as much as possible their theoretical and experimental details. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. If there are computation and the experiment, the details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
