This project is the result of collaboration between Pasqal, academic researchers, and industry partners, aiming to make it practical to experiment with quantum approaches to hard combinatorial optimization tasks. The MIS problem appears in real-world scenarios like scheduling, resource allocation, and network optimization, areas where classical solvers often struggle as…</p><p>6 points; 0 discussion replies on HN. <a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2502.04291/">Paper and source history</a>.
