Abstract: Technologies for a quantum/classical hybrid approach to solving optimization problems are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an optimization problem is decomposed into two sub-problems. The first sub-problem is solved on a classical computer, and a result from the first sub-problem is provided to a quantum computer. The quantum computer then solves the second sub-problem based on the result of the first sub-problem from the classical computer. The quantum computer can then provide a result to the classical computer to re-solve the first problem. The iterative calculation is continued until an end condition is met.

Abstract: An apparatus formulates a scheduling optimization problem for controlling the operation of an electric vehicle between multiple operating states based at least in part on battery status information of the electric vehicle, decomposes the scheduling optimization problem into a plurality of subproblems associated with respective sequences of time slots, implements an electric vehicle simulator to generate updated values of the battery status information, including one or more predicted values, for use in solving the subproblem for each of one or more of the sequences of time slots, based at least in part on a solution to the subproblem for a previous one of the sequences of time slots, and generates one or more control signals for the electric vehicle for each of one or more of the sequences of time slots based at least in part on the corresponding solution to the subproblem for that sequence of time slots.

Abstract: A method in an illustrative embodiment comprises configuring a machine learning system with a multi-layer network architecture comprising at least one neural network and one or more additional network layers, training the neural network at least in part utilizing quantum sampling performed by a quantum computing device, obtaining data characterizing a monitored system, processing at least a portion of the obtained data through at least a portion of the multi-layer network architecture of the machine learning system to generate a prediction of at least one characteristic of the monitored system from the obtained data, and executing at least one automated action relating to the monitored system based at least in part on the generated prediction. The neural network may comprise, for example, a deep belief network (DBN) that includes at least first and second restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) of respective first and second different types, or at least one conditional restricted Boltzmann machine (CRBM).
