Quantum Speedups for Polynomial-Time Dynamic Programming Algorithms

Authors: Susanna Caroppo, Giordano Da Lozzo, Giuseppe Di Battista, Michael T. Goodrich, and Martin Nöllenburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
We introduce a quantum dynamic programming framework that allows us to directly extend to the quantum realm a large body of classical dynamic programming algorithms. The corresponding quantum dynamic programming algorithms retain the same space complexity as their classical counterpart, while achieving a computational speedup. For a combinatorial (search or optimization) problem P and an instance I of P, such a speedup can be expressed in terms of the average degree δ of the {dependency digraph} G_𝒫(I) of I, determined by a recursive formulation of P. The nodes of this graph are the subproblems of P induced by I and its arcs are directed from each subproblem to those on whose solution it relies. In particular, our framework allows us to solve the considered problems in Õ(|V(G_𝒫(I))| √δ) time. As an example, we obtain a quantum version of the Bellman-Ford algorithm for computing shortest paths from a single source vertex to all the other vertices in a weighted n-vertex digraph with m edges that runs in Õ(n√{nm}) time, which improves the best known classical upper bound when m ∈ Ω(n^{1.4}).

Quantum Speedups for Dynamic Programming on n-Dimensional Lattice Graphs

Authors: Adam Glos, Martins Kokainis, Ryuhei Mori, and Jevgēnijs Vihrovs

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 202, 46th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2021)

Abstract
Motivated by the quantum speedup for dynamic programming on the Boolean hypercube by Ambainis et al. (2019), we investigate which graphs admit a similar quantum advantage. In this paper, we examine a generalization of the Boolean hypercube graph, the n-dimensional lattice graph Q(D,n) with vertices in {0,1,…,D}ⁿ. We study the complexity of the following problem: given a subgraph G of Q(D,n) via query access to the edges, determine whether there is a path from 0ⁿ to Dⁿ. While the classical query complexity is Θ̃((D+1)ⁿ), we show a quantum algorithm with complexity Õ(T_Dⁿ), where T_D < D+1. The first few values of T_D are T₁ ≈ 1.817, T₂ ≈ 2.660, T₃ ≈ 3.529, T₄ ≈ 4.421, T₅ ≈ 5.332. We also prove that T_D ≥ (D+1)/e (here, e ≈ 2.718 is the Euler’s number), thus for general D, this algorithm does not provide, for example, a speedup, polynomial in the size of the lattice. While the presented quantum algorithm is a natural generalization of the known quantum algorithm for D = 1 by Ambainis et al., the analysis of complexity is rather complicated. For the precise analysis, we use the saddle-point method, which is a common tool in analytic combinatorics, but has not been widely used in this field. We then show an implementation of this algorithm with time and space complexity poly(n)^{log n} T_Dⁿ in the QRAM model, and apply it to the Set Multicover problem. In this problem, m subsets of [n] are given, and the task is to find the smallest number of these subsets that cover each element of [n] at least D times. While the time complexity of the best known classical algorithm is O(m(D+1)ⁿ), the time complexity of our quantum algorithm is poly(m,n)^{log n} T_Dⁿ.
