Benjamin Y.L. Tan, Beng Yee Gan, Daniel Leykam, and Dimitris G. Angelakis. We show how the localization landscape, originally introduced to bound low energy eigenstates of disordered wave media and many-body quantum systems, can form the basis for hardware efficient quantum algorithms for solving binary optimization problems. Many binary optimization problems can be cast as finding low-energy eigenstates of Ising…
