Questions tagged [semidefinite-programming]

Semidefinite programming (SDP) is a subfield of convex optimization concerned with the optimization of a linear objective function (a user-specified function that the user wants to minimize or maximize) over the intersection of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices with an affine space, i.e., a spectrahedron.

Forbidden/allowed outputs of a quantum channel

The coherent information of a channel $\mathcal{E}_{A'\rightarrow B}$ is defined as the maximum value obtained by the following function where the maximization is over all input states $$I_{\rm{coh}}(...

How can I implement partial transpose on a variable in Picos (Python, trying to solve an SDP)?

I try to optimise a quantity via an SDP. I optimise over all PPT measurement operators and hence have the constraints $\Pi_k^{T_B} \succeq 0$ (PPT) for my measurement operators. The part of the code ...

Quantum Optimization algorithms

The Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) algorithm for quantum matrix inversion (linear algebra) bridges classical math to quantum math and has been adopted for quantumizing many classical applications, such ...

Linear and Logarithmic Constraint in Semidefinite Programming

I am trying to minimize the largest component of a vector $x = [x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4]$, where $x_1 \ge x_2 ... \ge x_4$, such that it satisfies a set of linear inequalities $A, b$ in the following way: $...
