Quantum Speedup and Mathematical Solutions from Implementing Bio-molecular Solutions for the Independent Set Problem on IBM’s Quantum Computers

In this paper, we propose a bio-molecular algorithm with O(n2 + m) biological operations, O(2n) DNA strands, O(n) tubes and the longest DNA strand, O(n), for solving the independent-set problem for any graph G with m edges and n vertices. Next, we show that a new kind of the straightforward Boolean circuit yielded from the bio-molecular solutions with m NAND gates, (m + n × (n +1)) AND gates and ((n × (n + 1)) / 2) NOT gates can find the maximal independent-set(s) to the independent-set problem for any graph G with m edges and n vertices. We show that a new kind of the proposed quantum-molecular algorithm can find the maximal independent set(s) with the lower bound O(2n/2) queries and the upper bound Ω(2n/2) queries. This work offers an obvious evidence that to solve the independent-set problem in any graph G with m edges and n vertices, bio-molecular computers are able to generate a new kind of the straightforward Boolean circuit such that by means of implementing it quantum computers can give a quadratic speed-up. This work also offers one obvious evidence that quantum computers can significantly accelerate the speed and enhance the scalability of bio-molecular computers. Furthermore, to justify the feasibility of the proposed quantum-molecular algorithm, we successfully solve a typical independent set problem for a graph G with three vertices and two edges by carrying out experiments on the backend ibmqx4 with five quantum bits and the backend simulator with 32 quantum bits on IBM’s quantum computer.
