Quantum-inspired algorithms and the Azure Quantum optimization service

Delbert Murphy joins Scott Hanselman to show how quantum-inspired algorithms mimic quantum physics to solve difficult optimization problems.

Quantum-Inspired optimization (QIO) takes state-of-the-art algorithmic techniques from quantum physics and makes these capabilities available in Azure on conventional hardware, and callable from a Python client. You can use QIO to solve problems with hundreds of thousands of variables, combined into millions of terms, in a few minutes, with this easy-to-consume Azure service.

  1. Have you ever considered creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs?

    I have a blog based on the same information you discuss
    and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would
    value your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
