Library Target List

[ThomasPluckMU]

I noticed that there's ongoing development of the /library

Are you thinking of doing general QUBO conversion of a suite such as in:

• https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.11538

• https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.08653

• https://arxiv.org/abs/1302.5843

Do you have a particular list that you want formulated?

Yes! The long-term vision would be to implement the ability to convert any QUBO objective function into a p-circuit, so the library could be used for machine learning.

Immediately, I am working with @igronin47 to solve the salesman problem using p-bits, with limited results as for now: #57.

TSP is a great example of why polynomial reduction to QUBO can still be very painful hah. Not sure exactly what you mean by "any QUBO objective as a p-circuit" are you talking about general tractible methods for solving the minor embedding problem?

If we could encode for example "3 * x^2 + 2 x + 5" in some J/h weights (with binaries or integers variables) and obtain accurate results, that would be awesome.
