Title: COMET: Combinatorial Optimization for Multiplex Editing Targets Via Constraint-Preserving QAOA
Abstract:
arXiv:2607.02622v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiplex CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing requires selecting one guide RNA per target gene subject to cross-gene interactions: a constrained combinatorial problem that can be formulated as a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) and solved via the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). The one-hot per-gene constraint is conventionally enforced by adding quadratic penalty terms to the cost Hamiltonian, but penalty coefficient sel
