The benchmark tests show that the noise-free realization of QA can significantly outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms. Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the ...

Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the unique properties of quantum computing to tackle complex combinatorial optimization problems (a class of mathematical problems ...

Abstract: The ant colony algorithm has been successfully used to solve discrete problems. However, its discrete nature restricts applications to the continuous domains. In this paper, we introduce two ...

Abstract: This paper aims at minimizing the makespan for a single batch-processing machine with non-identical job sizes (NSBM) using discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm (DPSO). PSO is a ...
