Project description
Quantum computing is a technology with the potential to provide a significant speedup over classical computing for some combinatorial optimization problems. However, due to the relatively early stage of research and development regarding quantum computers, there are many limitations of the technology. Our work considers hybrid quantum-classical algorithms that improve upon the scalability and applicability of quantum computing. This work represents the first implementation of a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm on real quantum hardware and is a collaborative effort with the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/tech/dash/physics/quail/) and the Planning and Scheduling Group (https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/tech/asr/planning-and-scheduling/) at NASA Ames Research Center.
