Efficient digital quadratic unconstrained binary optimization solvers for SAT problems by Robert Simon Fong, Yanming Song, Alexander Yosifov

“…To utilize them, we implement a 2-step [3-SAT]-[Max 2-SAT]-[QUBO] conversion procedure and present a novel approach using linear systems and Diophantine equation to calculate the number of both satisfied and violated clauses of the original 3-SAT instance from the transformed Max 2-SAT formulation. We then demonstrate, through numerical simulations on several benchmark instances, that digital QUBO solvers can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy on 78-variable 3-SAT benchmark problems. …”
