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 ...

A mathematical optimization application has two main components: the solver described in the section above, and a mathematical model that encompasses your unique, real-world business problem.

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.
