Summary:
The path-integral quantum Monte Carlo method (PIQMC) is widely used as a classical simulation algorithm for quantum annealing. Replicas represent different points in imaginary time. We propose and demonstrate a temperature-control-free simulated annealing algorithm inspired by the PIQMC method. Replicas help mutually as if a swarm searches for the ground state. We solve 100 max-cut problems for algorithm evaluation, each of which corresponds to a graph of 100 vertices. We use a conventional method based on the analogy of the Metropolis algorithm for comparison.
