However, there are subtleties in its generalization to asymptotically AdS black holes with general higher derivative corrections. First of all, it is necessary to know all the higher derivative holographic counterterms and the surface terms implementing the variational principle and subtracting the divergence. One then needs to solve for the modified AdS radius and rescale the time coordinate in an appropriate way such that the induced metric on the conformal boundary of AdS black hole is not modified. We observe that Reall-Santos method can be directly applied to a particular 4-derivative gravity model, known as the Einstein-Weyl gravity, which does not modify the AdS radius and requires only the Gibbons-Hawking-York term and holographic counterterms for the 2-derivative theory. We thus suggest that to compute the thermodynamic quantities of AdS black holes in general 4-derivative theories of gravity, one simply needs to transform it to a Einstein-Weyl gravity with identical thermodynamic variables by appropriate field redefinitions. We explicitly verify this proposal with spherically-symmetric and static charged black holes in Einstein-Maxwell theory extended with generic 4-derivative interactions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141782857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is widely used in encryption, planning or scheduling, and integer partitions. An accurate search algorithm with polynomial time complexity has not been found, which makes it challenging to be solved on classical computers. To effectively solve this problem, we translate it into the quantum Ising model and solve it with a variational quantum optimization method based on conditional values at risk. The proposed model needs only <i>n</i> qubits to encode 2<sup><i>n</i></sup> dimensional search space, which can effectively save the encoding quantum resources. The model inherits the advantages of variational quantum algorithms and can obtain good performance at shallow circuit depths while being robust to noise, and it is convenient to be deployed in the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum era. We investigate the effects of the scalability, the variational ansatz type, the variational depth, and noise on the model. Moreover, we also discuss the performance of the model under different conditional values at risk. Through computer simulation, the scale can reach more than nine qubits. By selecting the noise type, we construct simulators with different QVs and study the performance of the model with them. In addition, we deploy the model on a superconducting quantum computer of the Origin Quantum Technology Company and successfully solve the subset sum problem. This model provides a new perspective for solving the subset sum problem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141782859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the density-marked correlation function (MCF) has been introduced, offering an easily computable density-correlation statistic. Simulations have demonstrated that MCFs offer additional, independent constraints on cosmological models beyond the standard two-point correlation (2PCF).
