The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

We present a comprehensive case study comparing the performance of D-Waves’ quantum-classical hybrid framework, Fujitsu’s quantum-inspired digital annealer, and Gurobi’s state-of-the-art classical ...

Nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms are important components of artificial intelligence, and are increasingly used across disciplines to tackle various types of challenging optimization problems.
