Hybrid quantum and in-memory computing for accelerating solving Simon’s problem by Zheng Miao, Yongxiang Li, Shiqing Wang, Zhong Sun

“…While quantum algorithms can exponentially reduce the complexity of Simon’s problem, the overall computational complexity remains O(n3), which is imposed by the process of solving a system of linear equations in modulo 2 arithmetic (Mod-2 LEs). We have developed a logic IMC approach for solving Mod-2 LEs, where the core lies in the two-step XOR operation by the concept of a stateful neural network and the row SWAP operation based on a COPY gate design in the same framework. …”
