autotn: Automata-inspired construction of tensor-network operators from symbolic local rules
Aitor Morais, Izaskun Oregi, Iker Pastor +1
Matrix product operators (MPOs) are a standard representation for structured operators in tensor-network simulations and quantum computing applications. However, converting symboli…
Steiner Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows and Pickup-Delivery: integrating classical and quantum optimization
Alessia Ciacco, Francesca Guerriero, Eneko Osaba
We propose the Steiner Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows and Pickup and Delivery, an advanced and practical extension of classical routing models. This variant integrate…
Addressing the Minor-Embedding Problem in Quantum Annealing and Evaluating State-of-the-Art Algorithm Performance
Aitor Gomez-Tejedor, Eneko Osaba, Esther Villar-Rodriguez
This study addresses the minor-embedding problem, which involves mapping the variables of an Ising model onto a quantum annealing processor. The primary motivation stems from the o…
Quantum Annealing for Staff Scheduling in Educational Environments
Alessia Ciacco, Francesca Guerriero, Eneko Osaba
We address a novel staff allocation problem that arises in the organization of collaborators among multiple school sites and educational levels. The problem emerges from a real cas…
An Advanced Hybrid Quantum Tabu Search Approach to Vehicle Routing Problems
James B. Holliday, Eneko Osaba, Khoa Luu
Quantum computing (QC) is expected to solve incredibly difficult problems, including finding optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. However, to date, QC alone is…
On the Transfer of Knowledge in Quantum Algorithms
Esther Villar-Rodriguez, Eneko Osaba, Izaskun Oregi +2
Quantum computing is poised to transform computational paradigms across science and industry. As the field evolves, it can benefit from established classical methodologies, includi…
