The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

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 ...

Probabilistic Ising machines (PIMs) are advanced and specialized computing systems that could tackle computationally hard ...

London, June 5, 2024 – Quantum infrastructure software company Q-CTRL today announced published results that the company says demonstrate a boost of more than 4X in the size of an optimization problem ...

We investigate the pointwise well-posedness of optimization problems for locally convex cone-valued functions and establish some relations between the kinds of well-posedness. Via the neighborhoods ...

The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is a metaheuristic nature-inspired technique for solving various combinatorial optimization problems. The shortest-path problem is an important ...
