Quantum Subroutines in Branch-Price-and-Cut for Vehicle Routing

Abstract: Motivated by recent progress in quantum hardware and algorithms, researchers have developed quantum heuristics for optimization problems, aiming for advantages over classical methods. To date, quantum hardware is still error-prone and limited in size such that quantum heuristics cannot be scaled to relevant problem sizes and are often outperformed by their classical counterparts. Moreover, […]

Cryogenic Floating-Gate CMOS Circuits for Quantum Control

Voltage biases are often required to bias Qubits, and yet applying a static bias requires separate chip wires, dramatically increasing the system complexity. An ideal approach would be having a nonvolatile digital or analog memory to avoid these issues. This article shows floating-gate (FG) structures could be used to set and forget potentials and tunnel […]
