| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Quantum annealing is an efficient method to solve optimization problems by using quantum physics. In the present study, we have investigated the usage of quantum annealing without limit to optimization problems. And we clarified two important applications. One is an application to clarify the details of the thermoelectric materials. We show that spectral conductivity can be estimated by observable parameters, namely electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficients, using quantum annealing. This is an inverse problem of integral equations. Another is applications to sensor networks. Sensors set on buildings give us a lot of information. We have to extract important parts of the information. We tried this extraction by quantum annealing with supplementally using deep learning methods. Furthermore, for giving the wide application of the quantum annealing for data analysis, and efficient time schedule is required. We found that entropy plays a sufficient role to find the time schedule.
