Abstract
At The SEI, We Are Working To Make Quantum Computing Mission-Capable for important problems within the U.S. Department of Defense. Some of the most computationally challenging software engineering problems— for example, software verification and validation, and machine learning/artificial intelligence—are combinatorial optimization problems. For many combinatorial optimization problems, finding the exact optimal solution is NP-hard and could take billions of years to solve with classical computing paradigms. Our focus is on applying quantum computing to solve these problems in mission-critical time.
