contents Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) enforce governing equations by penalizing PDE residuals at interior collocation points, but standard collocation strategies - uniform sampling and residual-based adaptive refinement - can oversample smooth regions, produce highly correlated point sets, and incur unnecessary training cost. We reinterpret collocation selection as a coreset construction problem: from a large candidate pool, select a fixed-size subset that is simultaneously informative (high expected impact on reducing PDE error) and diverse (low redundancy under a space-time similarity notion). We formulate this as a QUBO/BQM objective with linear terms encoding residual-based importance and quadratic terms discouraging redundant selections. To avoid the scalability issues of dense k-hot QUBOs, we propose a sparse graph-based BQM built on a kNN similarity graph and an efficient repair procedure that enforces an exact collocation budget. We further introduce hybrid coverage anchors to guarantee global PDE enforcement. We evaluate the method on the 1D time-dependent viscous Burgers equation with shock formation and report both accuracy and end-to-end time-to-accuracy, including a timing breakdown of selection overhead. Results demonstrate that sparse and hybrid formulations reduce selection overhead relative to dense QUBOs while matching or improving accuracy at fixed collocation budgets.
