Building a chemical plant. Developing an airline route. Modeling the shapes of proteins. Each of these actions requires optimization algorithms – the combination of math and theory translated into ...

MicroAlgo Inc. announced its research on the Quantum Information Recursive Optimization (QIRO) algorithm, which aims to address complex combinatorial optimization problems using quantum computing.

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

Those that solve artificially simplified problems where quantum advantage is meaningless. Those that provide no genuine quantum advantage when all costs are properly accounted for. This critique is ...
