Abstract
Apparatus and methods for solving global optimization tasks using quantum computing. In one aspect, a method includes receiving input data, the input data comprising (i) data representing one or more local solutions to the global optimization task, and (ii) data representing one or more task objectives; mapping the received input data to a quantum domain; performing a genetic algorithm on the mapped input data using the quantum computing device to obtain a solution to the global optimization task in the quantum domain; and obtaining a solution to the global optimization task in a classical domain by mapping the obtained solution to the global optimization task in the quantum domain to the classical domain.
