Temat: Solving Optimization problems using Qiskit Aqua

Prezentacja

Abstract:

This work focuses on exploring the possibility of solving a popular optimization problem, workflow scheduling [1], using a quantum computer provided by IBM with the Qiskit quantum framework. The problem of assigning workflow tasks to machines in a cloud environment is solved with the use of a hybrid Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VGE) algorithm [2]. The solution was first tested on a simulator from the Qiskit framework and then run on a real quantum device with 15 qubits, provided by IBM Q. This talk will present a problem description, its transformation into Hamiltonian for VQE algorithm and discussion of experimental results [3]. We will also discuss limitations of such an approach, the existing solutions and point possible future work.
