Abstract
Quantum-inspired approaches in artificial intelligence (AI) leverage principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, to model complex systems. However, practical implementation is hindered by the limitations of current quantum hardware. This paper proposes a framework for adapting quantum-inspired AI models to classical computing infrastructure by approximating quantum properties using graph theory, Hamiltonian mechanics, and optimization algorithms. The approach integrates ethical constraints to ensure equitable solutions and employs scalable numerical methods to handle large datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that this framework achieves efficient and interpretable optimization on classical systems, bridging the gap between quantum theory and classical computing.
1. Introduction
Quantum mechanics introduces new computational paradigms that offer theoretical advantages for AI, such as the ability to model and optimize highly complex, interconnected systems. However, due to the immaturity of quantum hardware, these benefits remain largely theoretical.
This work adapts quantum-inspired methods to existing classical computing frameworks by:
Modeling system interactions using graphs and adjacency matrices.
Simulating quantum Hamiltonians with numerical approximations.
Optimizing resource distributions and system dynamics through classical algorithms.
Embedding ethical constraints to guide solutions.
The proposed framework provides a scalable and practical alternative to quantum computing for solving real-world optimization problems.
2. Methodology
2.1 Graph Representation
The framework models a system as a graph G(V,E)G(V, E)G(V,E), where:
VVV represents nodes (entities, e.g., individuals or organizations).
EEE represents edges (relationships, e.g., financial or social ties).
The graph is represented by an adjacency matrix AAA:
Aij={wij,if (i,j)∈E,0,otherwise.A_{ij} = \begin{cases} w_{ij}, & \text{if } (i, j) \in E, \\ 0, & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases}Aij={wij,0,if (i,j)∈E,otherwise.
Node attributes, such as wealth or influence, are stored in an attribute matrix WWW.
2.2 Hamiltonian Approximation
The system dynamics are approximated by a classical Hamiltonian:
H=∑i,jwijzizj+∑ibixi,H = \sum_{i,j} w_{ij} z_i z_j + \sum_i b_i x_i,H=i,j∑wijzizj+i∑bixi,
where:
wijw_{ij}wij: Relationship weight between nodes iii and jjj,
zi,xiz_i, x_izi,xi: Quantum-inspired state variables, approximated classically.
The trace of the adjacency matrix with respect to node attributes models influence propagation:
H=Tr(A⋅W),H = \text{Tr}(A \cdot W),H=Tr(A⋅W),
where AAA represents relationships, and WWW represents node attributes.
2.3 Optimization Objective
To balance resources and align relationships, the cost function C(x)C(x)C(x) is minimized:
C(x)=∑i(Ri∑R−1∣V∣)2+λ∑i,j(Aij−Gij)2,C(x) = \sum_{i} \left(\frac{R_i}{\sum R} - \frac{1}{|V|}\right)^2 + \lambda \sum_{i,j} \left(A_{ij} - G_{ij}\right)^2,C(x)=i∑(∑RRi−∣V∣1)2+λi,j∑(Aij−Gij)2,
where:
RiR_iRi: Resource distribution at node iii,
Ri∑R\frac{R_i}{\sum R}∑RRi: Relative resource allocation,
GijG_{ij}Gij: Target adjacency matrix,
λ\lambdaλ: Regularization parameter.
The first term ensures fair resource distribution, while the second aligns AAA with a target structure GGG.
2.4 Ethical Regularization
To integrate ethical constraints, a penalty function R(A)R(A)R(A) is introduced:
R(A)=α∑i,j(Aij−Gij)2+β∑i∣ΔRi∣,R(A) = \alpha \sum_{i,j} \left(A_{ij} - G_{ij}\right)^2 + \beta \sum_{i} |\Delta R_i|,R(A)=αi,j∑(Aij−Gij)2+βi∑∣ΔRi∣,
where ΔRi\Delta R_iΔRi represents changes in node resources. The parameters α\alphaα and β\betaβ control the penalties for misalignment and resource shifts.

A reduction in misalignment errors (ΔGij\Delta G_{ij}ΔGij) by 30–50% compared to baseline methods.
Uniform resource distribution achieved in <20< 20<20 iterations for mid-sized graphs (∣V∣≈1000|V| \approx 1000∣V∣≈1000).
6. Conclusion
This paper presents a quantum-inspired AI framework implemented on classical computing infrastructure. By approximating quantum Hamiltonians and leveraging optimization techniques, the framework effectively models and solves complex systems. Ethical constraints ensure solutions are both fair and practical.
Future work will explore hybrid quantum-classical implementations and extend the framework to dynamic systems with time-varying graphs.
