No matter how complex or challenging your business problem is, if it can be defined as a mathematical model, it can almost certainly be solved using mathematical optimization. 3.

Prior efforts to develop hardware for optimization problems have involved Ising machines, a category of hardware solvers that incorporate the Ising model to find the absolute or approximate “ground ...

Quantum computers could provide significantly better solutions more quickly. Credit: HZB The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem.
