Hybrid Quantum-Classical Algorithm for Solving Financial and Logistic Network

Recent work that solves the equilibrium of a nonlinear financial network and configuration of an optimal logistic network. (1) Prediction of financial crashes in a complex financial network is known to be an NP-hard problem, i.e., a problem which cannot be solved efficiently with a classical computer. We experimentally explore a novel approach to this problem by using a D-Wave quantum computer to obtain financial equilibrium more efficiently.(2) The logistic network design is an abstract optimization problem which, under the assumption of minimal cost, seeks the optimal configuration of infrastructures and facilities of the supply chain based on customer demand.
