Thursday, July 22, 2021

CAMBRIDGE, England, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In a development that is likely to set a new industry standard, scientists at Cambridge Quantum (CQ) have developed a new algorithm for solving combinatorial optimisation problems that are widespread in business and industry, such as travelling salesman, vehicle routing or job shop scheduling, using near-term quantum computers.

Key Points: 
  • In this paper published on the pre-print repository arXiv, CQ scientists introduce the Filtering Variational Quantum Eigensolver (F-VQE) to make combinatorial optimisation more efficient.
  • Using the Honeywell System Model H1 quantum computer, the new approach outperformed existing "gold standard" algorithms such as the Quantum Approximate Optimisation Algorithm (QAOA) and the original VQE, reaching a good solution 10 to 100 times faster.
  • "F-VQE has distinct advantages over previous quantum algorithms: it finds good candidate solutions faster and uses quantum hardware much more efficiently.
  • Tony Uttley, President of Honeywell Quantum Solutions, said, "This project illustrates the exciting advances occurring in quantum computing.
