Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for root cause analysis in a communication network. In one aspect, a method includes providing a quantum computer with data representing a topology of the communication network, the topology comprising a graph of vertices representing network devices and edges representing connections between network devices; receiving, from the quantum computer, data representing a first subset of network devices, wherein the first subset comprises a dominating set of vertices or a vertex cover for the graph; monitoring network devices in the first subset to generate alarm data representing triggered network device alarms; providing the alarm data to a quantum computer; receiving, from the quantum computer, data representing a second subset of network devices, wherein the second subset comprises a set cover for the alarm data and the network devices in the second subset comprise diagnosed sources of failures in the communication network.
