ACM Computing Surveys 2024 Spotlight

Quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms have not yet been systematically classified in the context of potential Operations Research (OR) applications. Our systematic mapping is designed for quick consultation and shows which algorithms have been significantly explored in the context of OR, as well as which algorithms have been vaguely addressed in the same context. Readers can have an interactive hands-on experience with the collected data on a website.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Charging (V2VC) has been recently adopted by popular EVs, posing new opportunities and challenges to the management and operation of EVs. We present a novel V2VC model that allows decision-makers to take V2VC into account when optimizing their EV operations.

SN Computer Science 2022

We shed light on the practical use of Quantum Computing (QC) to tackle a combinatorial optimization problem in Finance, the Portfolio Optimization Problem (POP). We present an in-depth empirical study on the influence that configurable parameters of both a state-of-the-art adiabatic quantum computer and POP itself can have on the overall quality of the solutions we obtain. We believe the conclusions drawn from our study are valuable contributions to the utilization of adiabatic quantum computers in practice, not only in the context of POP but also for other application domains.
