Quantum computing based hybrid solution strategies for large-scale discrete-continuous optimization problems
Technologies for a quantum/classical hybrid approach to solving optimization problems is disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an optimization problem is decomposed into two sub-problems. The first sub-problem is solved on a classical computer, and a result from the first sub-problem is provided to a quantum computer. The quantum computer then solves the second sub-problem based on the result of the first sub-problem from the classical computer. The quantum computer can then provide a result to the classical computer to re-solve the first problem. The iterative calculation is continued until an end condition is met.
