Combinatorial Optimization Problems in Quantum Computing

School
MATHEMATICS

Recent breakthroughs in the production of quantum computers have brought the need to produce software for these devices to attention. The Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) chips available today offer challenges for compiling human-written code into a list of instructions which can be executed by a specific chip design. In this talk we discuss these challenges, and the combinatorial optimization problems they give rise to. ...
