Quantum Optimization

IE 458 sits at the intersection of operations research and quantum computing, asking how combinatorial problems you already know how to attack classically can be recast as Ising or QUBO instances and handed to a quantum device. Expect to spend the term reformulating problems, building circuits in Qiskit, running annealing jobs through Ocean SDK and OpenJij, and benchmarking the results against classical baselines, with three homeworks, a midterm, a final, and a project that ties it together. The course assumes you are comfortable with optimization and linear algebra and gives no quantum background for free; it is the natural bridge from IE's optimization track into NISQ-era algorithms like QAOA and quantum annealing, where the honest question is not "is it faster" but "under what hardware limits is it competitive at all."
