A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...
A quantum computer can solve optimization problems faster than classical supercomputers, a process known as "quantum advantage" and demonstrated by a USC researcher in a paper recently published in ...
Solving hard optimization problems is one of the most promising application domains for quantum computers due to the ubiquity of such problems in industry and the availability of broadly applicable ...

NP-hardness results indicate that finding exact optima and even sufficiently good approximate optima for worst-case instances of many optimization problems is probably out of reach for polynomial-time ...
It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...
