Results are presented for an adiabatic quantum algorithm to compute low peak sidelobe binary and unimodular codes on a D-Wave 2 quantum computer. The quantum algorithm is benchmarked against a conventional genetic algorithm (GA). The quantum algorithm shows roughly a 100 times speedup relative to the GA for binary codes longer that 100 bits and is capable of producing low sidelobe binary codes up to length 426 on the current D-Wave 2 hardware. Results are presented for Doppler tolerant binary and quad-phase codes computed using the same quantum algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
