Quantum Optimisation of Complex Systems with a Quantum Annealer
Steve Abel, Andrew Blance, Michael Spannowsky
We perform an in-depth comparison of quantum annealing with several classical optimisation techniques, namely thermal annealing, Nelder-Mead, and gradient descent. We begin with a…

Unsupervised Event Classification with Graphs on Classical and Photonic Quantum Computers
Andrew Blance, Michael Spannowsky
Photonic Quantum Computers provides several benefits over the discrete qubit-based paradigm of quantum computing. By using the power of continuous-variable computing we build an an…
