A Probabilistic Greedy Search Algorithm for Combinatorial Optimisation with Application to the Set Covering Problem

We present a probabilistic greedy search method for combinatorial optimisation problems. This approach is implemented and evaluated for the Set Covering Problem (SCP) and shown to yield a simple, ...

Who needs qubits? Factoring algorithm run on a probabilistic computer

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they’re not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...
