Recent advance on quantum devices realizes an artificial spin system known as the D-Wave 2000Q, which implements Ising model with tunable transverse field. In this system, we perform a specific protocol of annealing to attain ground state, minimizer energy. Therefore device is often called annealer. However resulting configurations are not always in state. It can rather quickly generate many following Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution. present study, formulate control large number automated...
For e-commerce websites, deciding the manner in which items are listed on webpages is an important issue because it can dramatically affect item sales. One of simplest strategies listing to improve overall sales do so a descending order or numbers. However, lists generated using this strategy, with high similarity often placed consecutively. In other words, list might be biased toward specific preference. Therefore, study employs penalties for being next each and transforms problem quadratic...
Steel manufacturing involves multiple processes, and optimizing the production schedule is essential for improving quality, cost, delivery of products. However, corresponding optimization problems are usually NP-hard generally intractable even modern high-performance computers. Recent advances in quantum computers, such as those developed by D-Wave Systems, have opened new possibilities handling this type problem. Nevertheless, a major obstacle to application currently available computers...
