Part II
When Time is Gold: Tools for Quantum Optimization
This part focuses on the use of quantum algorithms to solve optimization problems. You will learn about Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems and how to solve them with quantum annealers and digital quantum computers. You will also learn about more general optimization problems and about the Variational Quantum Eigensolver.
The chapters included in this part are the following:
Chapter 3, Working with Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization Problems
Chapter 4, Adiabatic Quantum Computing and Quantum Annealing
Chapter 5, QAOA: Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm
Chapter 6, GAS: Grover Adaptive Search
Chapter 7, VQE: Variational Quantum Eigensolver,
