Everything about Quantum optimization algorithms

Optimization algorithms using quantum computing

Quantum optimization algorithms are quantum algorithms that are used to solve optimization problems. Mathematical optimization deals with finding the best solution to a problem from a set of possible solutions. Mostly, the optimization problem is formulated as a minimization of a target functional. For combinatorial optimization problems no proven exponential speed up has ever been found. Most provable results are similar to Grover's algorithm and have the potential for a modest polynomial speed up. Wikipedia →
