AI Technical Summary
When solving constrained combinatorial optimization problems, existing technologies suffer from problems such as exponential complexity, local optimum traps, and parameter sensitivity in classical algorithms, while quantum computing faces hardware barriers and lacks constraint handling, making it difficult to apply effectively in industrial scenarios.
A quantum-inspired algorithm is adopted, which combines the Ising model and gradient descent method with superposition state encoding and projection feedback mechanism to construct a time-dependent Hamiltonian. By using voltage-encoded superposition states, discrete solutions that meet the constraints are generated, and the search direction is optimized by roulette wheel strategy, which is suitable for closed-loop control of classical systems.
It improves global search capability, avoids local optimum traps, enhances parameter robustness, and achieves fast and efficient optimization solutions on traditional circuit systems. The number of iterations is linearly related to the problem size, which is significantly better than traditional algorithms, and no complex parameter tuning is required.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of constrained combinatorial optimization, in particular to a quantum heuristic algorithm and system for constrained combinatorial optimization. BACKGROUND
[0002] Constrained combinatorial optimization problems (such as the traveling salesman problem, the knapsack problem, etc.) exist widely in logistics scheduling, chip design, artificial intelligence, etc. The core challenge is to find the optimal configuration that meets the constraint conditions in the discrete solution space. With the surge of real-time decision-making needs in industrial scenarios, traditional solving methods face the following technical bottlenecks:
[0003] 1. Inherent defects of classical algorithms:
[0004] Exponential complexity: heuristic algorithms such as simulated annealing and ant colony optimization need to traverse a large number of candidate solutions. When the problem size n increases, the computational complexity increases exponentially.
[0005] Local optimal trap: constraint conditions lead to rugged energy landscape, and algorithms are prone to fall into local optimum.
[0006] Parameter sensitivity: algorithm performance is highly dependent on parameter adjustment, and industrial deployment adaptability is poor
[0007] 2. Application limitations of quantum computing:
[0008] Hardware barrier: quantum annealing has theoretical advantages, but is limited by decoherence time and sparse topology mapping of Hamiltonian.
[0009] Environmental constraints: requires extremely low temperature environment, difficult to scale deployment.
[0010] 3. Lack of constraint handling in quantum heuristic algorithms:
[0011] Existing quantum heuristic schemes (such as quantum local annealing, quantum heuristic parallel annealing, quantum bifurcation algorithm, etc.) lack effective constraint handling mechanisms, leading to infeasible solutions or degraded optimization quality.
[0012] There is an urgent need for an optimization scheme that combines physical scalability, constraint handling capability, and compatibility with classical environments to break through the "efficiency-precision-cost" dilemma. SUMMARY
[0013] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quantum-inspired algorithm and system for constrained combinatorial optimization. By encoding superposition states under quantum inspiration, the global search capability can be improved. Combined with a projection feedback mechanism, it avoids local optimum traps, replaces traditional random search, and improves computational performance. By simulating quantum state superposition through voltage superposition, it is adapted to the closed-loop control of classical systems and has high hardware compatibility. When the Hamiltonian relative strength coefficient γ, gradient descent step size η, and reward coefficient ζ in the algorithm architecture are selected within a certain range, this system can iteratively converge to a similar solution quality. It can cope with the complexity of industrial scenarios without complex manual parameter tuning, improves parameter robustness, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
