CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.

NOTE The rtc-tools repository has been migrated from gitlab to here; see migration from gitlab. RTC-Tools is an open-source Python package for simulation and optimization of cyber-physical systems. It ...

US quantum computing company IonQ and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory report having demonstrated how the power of quantum can support grid operators to meet emerging challenges. The demonstration ...

ProcessOptimizer is a Python package designed to provide easy access to advanced machine learning techniques, specifically Bayesian optimization using, e.g., Gaussian processes. Aimed at ...

Abstract: A wide range of real applications can be modelled as the multiobjective traveling salesman problem (MOTSP), one of typical combinatorial optimization problems. Meta-heuristics can be used to ...

The paper presents a topology optimization methodology for 2D elastodynamic problems using the boundary element method (BEM). The topological derivative is derived based on the variation method and ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a study led by ...

Abstract: Ising machines are next-generation computers expected to efficiently sample near-optimal solutions of combinatorial optimization problems. Combinatorial optimization problems are modeled as ...
