Institute of Computer Science AGH and IBM Software Laboratory in Krakow invite to Krakow Quantum Informatics Seminar (KQIS)
Objectives:
• understand and discuss current problems in quantum informatics,
• discuss new quantum computing technologies,
• exchange ideas and research results,
• integrate information across different research teams,
• build a community around quantum informatics.
Venue: via Internet, Webex https://ibm.webex.com/meet/tomasz.stopa
Program:
Tuesday, 5th of October 2021, 9:30-10:30
Witold Jarnicki, BEIT
Topic: A robust approach to QUBO on the chimera topology
PresentationAbstract:
Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) is a format in which one can express multiple combinatorial and optimization problems. We shall present a report on our analysis of one of the hardware approaches, which resulted in us creating a GPU-based reference solution that happened to outperform the original.
