Although Bayesian Optimization (BO) has been employed for accelerating materials design in computational materials engineering, existing works are restricted to problems with quantitative variables.

Optimization tasks are at the heart of many real-world applications across a variety of scientific disciplines, particularly in physics and engineering. From the seemingly simple task of swinging up a ...

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...
