Nature-Inspired Optimization Strategies for Quantum Network Routing

Host: University of Essex (UESSEX), United Kingdom PhD Topic  The project will take genetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, and particle swarm optimization as inspiration and create quantum routing algorithms based on them. Specifically, routing protocols for multipartite states that are able to change dynamically in response to decoherence and noise will be developed. In short, nature-inspired…

Quantum annealing and quantum-inspired heuristics for wireless optimization problems

Host: University of Cyprus (UCY), Cyprus PhD Topic The project will work on an iterative framework that makes use of quantum annealing (e.g., D-Wave) and quantum-inspired solvers for constrained quadratic binary optimization. The problem of NP-hard wireless resource allocation will be the testing ground for these methods. A major component of the project is algorithm development…
