47-779 Quantum Integer Programming

Prof. Sridhar Tayur, Dr. Davide Venturelli, and David Bernal, 47-779 Quantum Integer Programming (QuIP), Fall 2020. (lecture note)

This course is primarily designed for graduate students (and advanced undergraduates) across CMU campuses interested in integer programming (with non-linear objective functions) and the potential of near-term quantum computing for solving combinatorial optimization problems. By the end of the semester, someone enrolled in this course should be able to:

• Identify the current status of quantum computing and its potential uses for integer programming
• Access and use quantum computing resources (such as DWave Quantum Annealers)
• Set up a given integer program to be solved with quantum computing
• Work in groups collaboratively on a state-of-the-art project regarding applications of quantum computing and integer programming
