Rudolfovo – Science and Technology Center Novo Mesto invites you to attend a scientific seminar entitled "Hybrid Quantum-Supercomputing Algorithms for Intractable Problems," which will be presented by Prof. Dr. Janez Povh.
The seminar will take place on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 10 a.m. in Hall K01 of the Novo mesto Development Center and via TEAMS link (meeting ID: 377 878 630 705 - Password: Nu2Ni6DP).
Abstract:
"In the seminar, we will demonstrate new ways to solve complex optimization problems using supercomputers and quantum computers. Focusing on QUBO problems, which appear in network design, machine learning, and physics, researchers from the Center for Quantum Computing at Rudolfovo enhanced the existing Biqbin solver by offloading specific computations to D-Wave quantum annealers. The new solver was tested on several benchmark instances in a high-performance and quantum computing setup. While the classical method remains strong, quantum integration shows promise, especially for the problems that fit well in the topology underlying the D-Wave system."
You are cordially invited! The scientific event will be held in English.
