Optimization tasks are at the heart of many real-world applications across a variety of scientific disciplines, particularly in physics and engineering. From the seemingly simple task of swinging up a ...

Although Bayesian Optimization (BO) has been employed for accelerating materials design in computational materials engineering, existing works are restricted to problems with quantitative variables.

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...
