论文摘要
量子计算以及量子计量学和量子通信是有望在不久的将来影响学术研究和行业不同部门的破坏性技术。对科学和工业的浓厚兴趣的计算挑战之一是反演问题。这些数值程序可以描述为从其效应测量结果确定事件原因的过程。在本文中，我们将递归量子算法应用于D-Wave量子退火器，以解决小规模的地震反转问题。我们将量子计算机获得的结果与从经典算法得出的结果进行了比较。量子计算机达到的准确性至少与古典计算机一样好。
Quantum computing, along with quantum metrology and quantum communication, are disruptive technologies that promise, in the near future, to impact different sectors of academic research and industry. Among the computational challenges with great interest in science and industry are the inversion problems. These kinds of numerical procedures can be described as the process of determining the cause of an event from measurements of its effects. In this paper, we apply a recursive quantum algorithm to a D-Wave quantum annealer to solve a small scale seismic inversions problem. We compare the obtained results from the quantum computer to those derived from a classical algorithm. The accuracy achieved by the quantum computer is at least as good as that of the classical computer.
