BEIT
Approaching Hard Problems With Algorithms For Quantum Computers
About Us
The main goal of Beit is to design and implement an algorithm for solving an all relevant NP-complete class of problems using Quantum Computers effectively, i.e. getting speedups better than quadratic, guaranteed by theory. We focus on Hamiltonian cycle problem, but since there are known reductions between different problems inside NP-complete class, we may say, that we are working on all of them at the same time. NP-complete problems are abstractions relevant for many real world problems encountered in logistics, manufacturing and warehousing at scale.
The project is co–financed by the European Funds under the Operational Program for
Intelligent Development 2014–2020
PO IR 1.1.1.
Project title: Development and implementation of an effective algorithm for solving NP-complete problems on quantum computers.
Duration: Jan 2017 – Dec 2020
Project value: PLN 10,951,954.20.
Financing of the project from the EU: PLN 8,060,831.23.

IBM Quantum Challenge – Jan's write-up
I introduce a permanent-based approach to the final problem of IBM Fall 2020 Quantum Challenge and prove its correctness. I describe a way to implement it as a quantum circuit and discuss the combinatorial consequences of such approach. The optimized solution obtained the score of 6574 and the 6th place in the final challenge ranking.
