Solving the 0/1 Knapsack problem using Quantum Annealing

Overview

This project compares quantum annealing and brute force methods in solving the Knapsack Problem. It focuses on demonstrating the efficiency and practicality of quantum computing in optimization.

Objectives

  • Compare quantum annealing with traditional brute force approaches.
  • Analyze efficiency in different problem scales.

Methodology

Using scenarios with varying item counts, the project contrasts the effectiveness and processing time of both methods, with a focus on quantum annealing.

Key Findings

  • Quantum annealing outperforms brute force in larger, more complex scenarios.
  • Quantum results show close approximations, but not exact solutions compared to brute force.

Conclusion

This study highlights quantum annealing as a more efficient, albeit less precise, solution for complex optimization problems like the Knapsack Problem.
