Quantum optimisation – theory, algorithms, and applications
Submission status
Open
Submission deadline
Quantum computing has rapidly evolved from theoretical concepts to practical devices, progressing from the NISQ era toward fault-tolerant systems. Among its most promising areas is quantum optimisation, which plays a vital role in networks, finance, logistics, chemistry, and materials science. Quantum and hybrid approaches open new avenues for solving complex problems.
This Collection welcomes original research on algorithms, theory, applications, and experimental studies in quantum optimisation.
