Abstract

The graph isomorphism (GI) problem is the computational problem of finding a permutation of vertices of a given graph G1G_1 that transforms G1G_1 to another given graph G2G_2 and preserves the adjacency. In this work, we propose a quantum algorithm to determine whether there exists such a permutation. To find such a permutation, we introduce isomorphic equivalent graphs of the given graphs to be tested. We proof that the GI problem of the equivalent graphs is equivalent to the GI problem of the given graphs. The idea of the algorithm is to determine whether there exists a permutation can transform the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix of the equivalent graphs each other. The cost time of the algorithm is polynomial.
