A Quantum Annealing-Based Approach to Extreme Clustering
Clustering, or grouping, dataset elements based on similarity can be used not only to classify a dataset into a few categories, but also to approximate it by a relatively large number of representative elements. In the latter scenario, referred to as extreme clustering, datasets are enormous and the number of representative clusters is large. We have devised a distributed method that can efficiently solve extreme clustering problems using quantum annealing. We prove that this method yields optimal clustering assignments under a separability assumption, and show that the generated clustering assignments are of comparable quality to those of assignments generated by common clustering algorithms, yet can be obtained a full order of magnitude faster.

Quantum Annealing for Clustering
This paper studies quantum annealing (QA) for clustering, which can be seen as an extension of simulated annealing (SA). We derive a QA algorithm for clustering and propose an annealing schedule, which is crucial in prac…

Feature ImportanceQuantum Annealing Algorithm for Expected Shortfall based Dynamic Asset Allocation
The 2008 mortgage crisis is an example of an extreme event. Extreme value theory tries to estimate such tail risks. Modern finance practitioners prefer Expected Shortfall based risk metrics (which capture tail risk) over…
Assessment of image generation by quantum annealer
Quantum annealing was originally proposed as an approach for solving combinatorial optimisation problems using quantum effects. D-Wave Systems has released a production model of quantum annealing hardware. However, the i…
