Bin packing problems are a class of NP-hard combinatorial optimisation challenges with wide-ranging applications in logistics, manufacturing, cloud computing and scheduling. The fundamental task is to ...

The joint replenishment problem (JRP) presents a complex optimisation challenge where the objective is to determine coordinated ordering policies for multiple items, thereby minimising total costs ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
