Cracking Colors with Neutral Atoms: Hybrid Quantum-Classical Approaches to Graph Optimization

About this event

Hybrid Quantum-Classical Approaches to Graph Optimization

Join Fondazione Links and Pasqal for an insightful webinar exploring pioneering solutions to graph optimization problems.

We will present a novel hybrid branch-and-price algorithm that leverages the unique capabilities of Neutral Atom quantum processors, integrated with classical computing resources. This innovative approach offers a new perspective on tackling NP-hard graph coloring challenges, with potential implications for logistics, scheduling, and network design.

What You can expect

Hosted by Lucia Garbini (Community Builder, Pasqal), the session features Chiara Vercellino (Expert Researcher at Fondazione Links) and Yassine Naghmouchi (Senior Quantum Algorithm Developer at Pasqal) who will provide:

  • An overview of graph coloring problems and their real-world relevance.
  • A deep dive into the technical foundations of a novel quantum-enhanced approach.
  • Insights into potential use cases and the growing impact of quantum-enhanced optimization.
