Graph-theoretic problems of identifying maximum cliques and maximum independent sets occupy a central place in combinatorial optimisation and theoretical computer science. A clique is a set of ...
(a) Performance of two adiabatic paths for finding the maximum independent set. (b) Performance of traditional heuristic adiabatic paths for finding independent sets. Quantum annealing, as a prominent ...
A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
