  • Patent number: 11797641
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for solving the Lagrangian dual of a constrained binary quadratic programming problem. The method comprises obtaining a constrained quadratic binary programming problem; until a convergence is detected, iteratively, performing a Lagrangian relaxation of the constrained quadratic binary programming problem to provide an unconstrained quadratic binary programming problem, providing the unconstrained quadratic binary programming problem to a quantum annealer, obtaining from the quantum annealer at least one corresponding solution, using the at least one corresponding solution to generate a new approximation for the Lagrangian dual bound; and providing a corresponding solution to the Lagrangian dual of the constrained binary quadratic programming problem after convergence.

  • Patent number: 10826845
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and media for quantum computing, including allowing access to quantum ready and/or quantum enabled computers in a distributed computing environment (e.g., the cloud). Such methods and systems may provide optimization and computational services. Methods and systems of the present disclosure may enable quantum computing to be relatively and readily scaled across various types of quantum computers and users at various locations, in some cases without the need for users to have a deep understanding of the resources, implementation or the knowledge that may be required for solving optimization problems using a quantum computer. Systems provided herein may include user interfaces that enable users to perform data analysis in a distributed computing environment while taking advantage of quantum technology in the backend.

  • Publication number: 20200272684
    Abstract: A method for solving the Lagrangian dual of a binary polynomially constrained polynomial programming problem comprises obtaining a binary polynomially constrained polynomial programming problem; until a convergence is detected, iteratively, providing a set of Lagrange multipliers, providing an unconstrained binary quadratic programming problem representative of the Lagrangian relaxation of the binary polynomially constrained polynomial programming problem at these Lagrange multipliers, providing the unconstrained binary quadratic programming problem to a quantum annealer, obtaining from the quantum annealer at least one corresponding solution, using the at least one corresponding solution to generate a new set of Lagrange multipliers; and providing all corresponding best-known primal-dual pairs and best-known feasible solutions after convergence.
