Quantum annealing has long promised a shortcut through some of the hardest landscapes in combinatorial optimization, but a stubborn mathematical obstacle keeps getting in the way: higher-order interactions. When an optimization problem is written as a higher-order unconstrained binary optimization, or HUBO, model, the energy function contains products of three or more binary variables. Local […]
