Abstract This paper investigates Windfarm Layout Optimization (WFLO), where we formulate turbine placement considering wake effects as a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem. Wind energy plays a critical role in the transition toward sustainable power systems, but the optimal placement of turbines remains a challenging combinatorial problem due to complex wake interactions. With recent advances in quantum computing, there is growing interest in exploring whether hybrid quantum-classical methods can provide advantages for such computationally intensive tasks. We investigate solving the resulting QUBO problem using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) implemented on Qiskit’s quantum computer simulator, More >

Abstract Track finding is a complex optimization problem, originally introduced in particle physics for the reconstruction of the trajectories of particles. A track is typically composed of several consecutive segments, which together form a smooth curve without any bifurcations. In this paper, we investigate various modeling approaches to assess their effectiveness and impact when applied to track finding, using both quantum and classical methods. We present implementations of three classical models using CPLEX, two quantum models on actual D-Wave quantum computers, and one quantum model on a D-Wave simulator. The results show that, while CPLEX provides… More >

Abstract In the rapidly evolving domain of quantum computing, Shor’s algorithm has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation with far-reaching implications for the field of cryptographic security. However, the efficacy of Shor’s algorithm hinges on the critical step of determining the period, a process that poses a substantial computational challenge. This article explores innovative quantum optimization solutions that aim to enhance the efficiency of Shor’s period finding algorithm. The article focuses on quantum development environments, such as Qiskit and Cirq. A detailed analysis is conducted on three notable tools: Qiskit Transpiler, BQSKit, and Mitiq. The performance of More >

Abstract Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) provides a means for scaling available quantum computation by interconnecting multiple quantum processor units (QPUs). A key challenge in this domain is efficiently allocating logical qubits from quantum circuits to the physical qubits within QPUs, a task known to be NP-hard. Traditional approaches, primarily focused on graph partitioning strategies, have sought to reduce the number of required Bell pairs for executing non-local CNOT operations, a form of gate teleportation. However, these methods have limitations in terms of efficiency and scalability. Addressing this, our work jointly considers gate and qubit teleportations introducing… More >
