Greedy gradient-free adaptive variational quantum algorithms on a noisy intermediate scale quantum computer by César Feniou, Muhammad Hassan, Baptiste Claudon, Axel Courtat, Olivier Adjoua, Yvon Maday, Jean-Philip Piquemal

“…However, practical implementations on current quantum processing units (QPUs) are challenging due to the noisy evaluation of a polynomially scaling number of observables, undertaken for operator selection and high-dimensional cost function optimization. We introduce an adaptive algorithm using analytic, gradient-free optimization, called Greedy Gradient-free Adaptive VQE (GGA-VQE). …”

RIS-assisted terahertz frequency band vehicle network capacity optimization by Fatang CHEN, Xiaoling LIU, Dan WANG, Ruofan ZHANG

“…In order to alleviate the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitation of the current wireless system, the terahertz frequency band was introduced and the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) was used for auxiliary communication to construct a downlink vehicle network.Considering the constraints of limited total system power, QoS constraints of cellular mobile users, and randomness constraints of vehicle and user locations, a hybrid optimization model was established for optimal power allocation and optimal deployment of RIS with the aim of maximizing the total rate of vehicle users.Based on the balance method, linear transformation method, and element elimination method, the original NP-hard problem was transformed into a convex optimization problem with complex correlation constraints and multivariate coupling.The inner layer iteration was based on the Lagrange multiplier method to solve the optimal power allocation, and the outer layer iteratively solved the optimal deployment of RIS based on a improved genetic algorithm.The simulation results show that rationally deploying the number and distribution density of RIS nodes based on optimal power allocation can save costs while achieving a higher target total capacity.…”

Optimization mechanism of attack and defense strategy in honeypot game with evidence for deception by Lihua SONG, Yangyang JIANG, Changyou XING, Guomin ZHANG

“…Using game theory to optimize honeypot behavior is an important method in improving defender’s trapping ability.Existing work tends to use over simplified action spaces and consider isolated game stages.A game model named HoneyED with expanded action spaces and covering comprehensively the whole interaction process between a honeypot and its adversary was proposed.The model was focused on the change in the attacker’s beliefs about its opponent’s real identity.A pure-strategy-equilibrium involving belief was established for the model by theoretical analysis.Then, based on the idea of deep counterfactual regret minimization (Deep-CFR), an optimization algorithm was designed to find an approximate hybrid-strategy-equilibrium.Agents for both sides following hybrid strategies from the approximate equilibrium were obtained.Theoretical and experimental results show that the attacker should quit the game when its belief reaches a certain threshold for maximizing its payoff.But the defender’s strategy is able to maximize the honeypot’s profit by reducing the attacker’s belief to extend its stay as long as possible and by selecting the most suitable response to attackers with different deception recognition abilities.…”
