String Model Building on Quantum Annealers

Abstract

For the first time the direct construction of string models on quantum annealers has been explored and has been investigated their efficiency and effectiveness in the model discovery process. Through a thorough comparison with traditional methods such as simulated annealing, random scans, and genetic algorithms, it is highlighted the potential advantages offered by quantum annealers, which in this study promised to be roughly 50 times faster than random scans and genetic algorithm and approximately four times faster than simulated annealing.
