SUMMARY:Quantum combinatorial optimization algorithms\, R. G. Herb Con
 densed Matter Seminar\,  Dr. Yuri Alexeev\, Argonne Argonne National L
 aboratory
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing is a promising area of science\, but aft
 er 20+ years of tremendous research efforts and enormous investments l
 arge scale\, general purpose\, universal quantum computers capable of 
 solving realistic problems are not yet available. However\, small scal
 e universal quantum computers and "quantum annealers" capable of tackl
 ing certain classical optimization problems are now available with lim
 ited access. In this talk\, I will present our recent advances in the 
 development of quantum combinatorial optimization algorithms like QAOA
 . I will also overview the state of quantum computing in Argonne Natio
 nal Laboratory.
