We present a heuristic algorithm for finding a graph $H$ as a minor of a graph $G$ that is practical for sparse $G$ and $H$ with hundreds of vertices. We also explain the practical importance of finding graph minors in mapping quadratic pseudo-boolean optimization problems onto an adiabatic quantum annealer.

  2. Ember: An Extensible Benchmark Suite for Quantum Annealing Embedding Algorithms

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Ember provides the first standardized, reproducible benchmark framework with 24,016 diverse graph instances for quantum annealing embedding algorithms, showing that no single algorithm performs best across all graph families.

  3. New minor minimal non-apex graphs

    math.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    All minimal non-apex graphs with 12 or fewer vertices or 26 or fewer edges are listed, and every 13-vertex graph with minimum degree 6 is shown to be apex or to contain a K6 minor.

    The thesis introduces a topology-aware tensor-network heuristic called SpinGlassPEPS.jl and thermodynamic metrics to benchmark quantum annealers on Ising problems while accounting for dissipation and effective temperature.

  6. Playing Dice with the Universe: Programming Quantum Computers to Play Traditional Games

    cs.ET 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A quantum annealer can play tic-tac-toe by encoding only the game rules and sampling from paths leading to wins or losses.

  7. Entangled happily ever after: Wedding reception seating mapped to classical and quantum optimizers

    cs.ET 2026-04 conditional novelty 4.0

    Wedding reception seating was encoded as a cost function network and solved more reliably by classical Monte Carlo than by quantum annealing on D-Wave hardware using mappings previously developed for protein design.
