Graph matching using the interference of discrete-time quantum walks

D Emms, RC Wilson, ER Hancock - Image and Vision Computing, 2009 - Elsevier
In this paper, we consider how discrete-time quantum walks can be applied to graph-
matching problems. The matching problem is abstracted using an auxiliary graph that …

Graph matching using the interference of continuous-time quantum walks

D Emms, RC Wilson, ER Hancock - Pattern Recognition, 2009 - Elsevier
We consider how continuous-time quantum walks can be used for graph matching. We focus
in detail on both exact and inexact graph matching, and consider in depth the problem of …

An edge-based matching kernel through discrete-time quantum walks

L Bai, Z Zhang, P Ren, L Rossi, ER Hancock - Image Analysis and …, 2015 - Springer
In this paper, we propose a new edge-based matching kernel for graphs by using discrete-
time quantum walks. To this end, we commence by transforming a graph into a directed line …

X Qiang, X Yang, J Wu, X Zhu - Journal of Physics A …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Studies on graph isomorphism play an important role in graph research, and graph
isomorphism algorithms have a wide range of applications in image matching, pattern …

Coined quantum walks lift the cospectrality of graphs and trees

D Emms, S Severini, RC Wilson… - International Workshop on …, 2005 - Springer
In this paper we consider the problem of distinguishing graphs that are cospectral with
respect to the standard adjacency and Laplacian matrix representations. Borrowing ideas …

A quantum-inspired similarity measure for the analysis of complete weighted graphs

L Bai, L Rossi, L Cui, J Cheng… - IEEE transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We develop a novel method for measuring the similarity between complete weighted
graphs, which are probed by means of the discrete-time quantum walks. Directly probing …

Graph comparison via nonlinear quantum search

M Chiew, K de Lacy, CH Yu, S Marsh… - Quantum Information …, 2019 - Springer
Graph comparison is an established NP-hard problem. In this paper, we present an
efficiently scaling quantum algorithm which finds the size of the maximum common edge …

Attributed graph similarity from the quantum Jensen-Shannon divergence

L Rossi, A Torsello, ER Hancock - … Workshop, SIMBAD 2013, York, UK, July …, 2013 - Springer
One of the most fundamental problem that we face in the graph domain is that of
establishing the similarity, or alternatively the distance, between graphs. In this paper, we …

Measuring graph similarity through continuous-time quantum walks and the quantum Jensen-Shannon divergence

L Rossi, A Torsello, ER Hancock - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
In this paper we propose a quantum algorithm to measure the similarity between a pair of
unattributed graphs. We design an experiment where the two graphs are merged by …

Can a quantum walk tell which is which? a study of quantum walk-based graph similarity

G Minello, L Rossi, A Torsello - Entropy, 2019 - mdpi.com
We consider the problem of measuring the similarity between two graphs using continuous-
time quantum walks and comparing their time-evolution by means of the quantum Jensen …
