Introduction

“The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena.”

—Erwin Schrodinger

This chapter covers an overview of quantum optimization algorithms. You will see how quantum optimization is used in real life. Code examples are presented for the quantum optimization applications.

Initial Setup

You need to set up Python 3.5 to run the code samples in this chapter. You can download it from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350/.
