    Approximate Block Diagonalization of Symmetric Matrices Using Quantum Annealing

    by Koushi Teramoto, Masaki Kugaya, Shuhei Kudo, Yasuhiko Takenaga, Yusaku Yamamoto

    We consider the problem of transforming a given symmetric matrix into a nearly block diagonal form by permutation of its rows and columns. Such a transformation is useful as preconditioning to accelerate the convergence of an eigenvalue solver, but the problem of finding an optimal permutation that maximizes the Frobenius norms of the diagonal blocks is NP-complete. We formulate this problem as QUBO (Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization) and solve it using D-Wave Advantage quantum annealing machine. Experimental results on small problems show that the true minimum can be obtained with high probability. We also discuss how to improve the mapping of the problem onto the physical qubit network to increase the size of the problems that can be solved.
