1. Quantum algorithms (Q-algorithms) are
good for only some specific problems,
epically for optimization:
a. Machine learning eg. Traveling
salesman problem(TSP),
b. Financial eg. Which assets should be
included in an optimum portfolio.
2. Chemistry: the binding energy of
hydrogen chains (as large as H12), with 12
qubits and , involving up to 72 two-qubit
gates. (Science 28 Aug 2020: Vol. 369,
Issue 6507, pp. 1084-1089)

Quantum building blocks: The qubit
Qubits are quantum systems that:
• Leverage new concepts like “Superposition”
• Can be made to work together
(Entanglement, Interference)
• Example of qubits: Atoms, molecules,
Photons (light)
Not the only approach
• Qumode: continuous quantum state (Borealis
device)
• Implementation of GBS (Gaussian Boson
Sampling)

In the near-term many problems can be formulated in terms of:
Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO)
Need to understand the QUBO formalism and mapping
Solve QUBO problems with quantum hardware and physics-based
methods
Option pricing
Portfolio optimization
Candidate drug selection
Vehicle routing
Oil & Gas reservoir simulation

1. Plot the custom routes provided by the
QWS and initiate turn-by-turn
navigation with voice instructions every
30 seconds.
2. Live traffic services provider from HERE
3. construct the traffic flow optimization
