The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) represents a leading framework for addressing combinatorial optimisation problems on near-term quantum devices. By alternating between a cost ...
Graph-theoretic problems of identifying maximum cliques and maximum independent sets occupy a central place in combinatorial optimisation and theoretical computer science. A clique is a set of ...
This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...
