Quantum tunneling and quantum walks as algorithmic resources to solve hard K-SAT instances

Abstract We present a new quantum heuristic algorithm aimed at finding satisfying assignments for hard K-SAT instances using a continuous time quantum walk that explicitly exploits the properties of quantum tunneling. Our algorithm uses a Hamiltonian $$H_A(F)$$ H A ( F ) which is specifically constr...
