We introduce a method for solving a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) with the two-way one-hot constraints by dividing the QUBO into parts and solving it with an Ising machine. The ...

This module performs simulated annealing optimization to find the optimal state of a system. It is inspired by the metallurgic process of annealing whereby metals must be cooled at a regular schedule ...

Crossover, also known as recombination, is the process of combining two parent solutions to generate new offspring. This results in two offspring, each carrying some genetic information from both ...

High-dimensional optimization presents a novel challenge within the realm of intelligent computing, necessitating innovative approaches. When tackling high-dimensional spaces, traditional evolutionary ...

The blockchain network uses a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism to validate transactions and keep the blockchain growth safe against tampering, but it is hugely energy-consuming with no benefit to the ...

Picture this: A weary salesperson juggling a multitude of client meetings, crisscrossing cities, and spending countless hours on the road. The life of a traveling salesperson is challenging, with time ...

I originally created this as a short to-do list of study topics for becoming a software engineer, but it grew to the large list you see today. After going through this study plan, I got hired as a ...

Combinatorial optimization is of general interest for both theoretical study and real-world applications. Fast-developing quantum algorithms provide a different perspective on solving combinatorial ...
