Quantum annealing (QA) is a hardware-based heuristic optimization and sampling method applicable to discrete undirected graphical models. While similar to simulated annealing, QA relies on quantum, rather than thermal, effects to explore…

In the context of the graph matching problem we propose a novel method for projecting a matrix $Q$, which may be a doubly stochastic matrix, to a permutation matrix $P.$ We observe that there is an intuitve mapping, depending on a given…
