These studies take part in enhancing quantum computing algorithms, which extract properties of quantum computers suitable for improving classical computational models. In this paper, we further develop the QUBO formulations of systems of linear equations by applying Sylvester's law of inertia, which explores matrix congruence of any real symmetric matrix to a diagonal matrix. We expect that the proposed algorithm can effectively implement higher dimensional systems of linear equations on a quantum computer. Further experimental verification of the proposed QUBO models as well as their comparisons to classical algorithms are also made.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.10084v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.10084v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"on-the-application-of-sylvester-s-law-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/ktfriends/Quantum_Computing","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
