Variational consistent histories as a hybrid algorithm for quantum foundations

The Consistent Histories formalism can solve paradoxes in quantum mechanics, but finding such consistent sets of histories requires a computational overhead which is exponential in the problem’s size. Here, the authors report a variational hybrid algorithm solving this problem using polynomial resou...
