Abstract: The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a leading candidate for solving combinatorial optimization problems on near-term quantum hardware. However, its practical deployment ...

Abstract: This article studies the two-dimensional (2-D) rectangle packing area minimization problem (RPAMP), a key subproblem in floor planning for very large-scale integration (VLSI) chip design.

In the era of global energy transition, battery inverters have evolved from simple power conversion devices into core hubs that link renewable energy generation, energy storage systems (ESS), and ...

The deal paves the way for TikTok to escape legal peril months after a U.S. ban. Social media giant TikTok struck an agreement to put its U.S. operations under the majority control of U.S. investors, ...

where $l$ and $u$ are the lower and upper probability bounds, while $\phi$ and $\psi$ denote propositional logic formulas. For example the following two sentences ...
