Quantum-inspired algorithms and the Azure Quantum optimization service | Azure Friday

<p>Delbert Murphy joins Scott Hanselman to show how quantum-inspired algorithms mimic quantum physics to solve difficult optimization problems. Quantum-Inspired Optimization (QIO) takes state-of-the-art algorithmic techniques from quantum physics and makes these capabilities available in Azure on conventional hardware, and callable from a Python client. You can use QIO to solve problems with hundreds of thousands of variables, combined into millions of terms, in a few minutes, with this easy-to-consume Azure service.</p><p><a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Quantum-inspired-algorithms-and-the-Azure-Quantum-optimization-service#time=0h00m00s">[0:00:00]</a>– Introduction&nbsp;<br><a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Quantum-inspired-algorithms-and-the-Azure-Quantum-optimization-service#time=0h00m40s">[0:00:40]</a>– What problems&nbsp;can you solve with quantum-inspired optimization?<br><a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Quantum-inspired-algorithms-and-the-Azure-Quantum-optimization-service#time=0h05m35s">[0:05:35]</a>– A concrete example: Secret Santa<br><a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Quantum-inspired-algorithms-and-the-Azure-Quantum-optimization-service#time=0h08m52s">[0:08:52]</a>– Demo, Part I: Solving Secret Santa with QIO<br><a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Quantum-inspired-algorithms-and-the-Azure-Quantum-optimization-service#time=0h17m58s">[0:17:58]</a>– Demo, Part II: Running the code<br><a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Quantum-inspired-algorithms-and-the-Azure-Quantum-optimization-service#time=0h21m12s">[0:21:12]</a>– Quantum-inspired algorithms<br><a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Quantum-inspired-algorithms-and-the-Azure-Quantum-optimization-service#time=0h24m33s">[0:24:33]</a>– Wrap-up&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="https://aka.ms/azfr/693/01">Solve optimization problems by using quantum-inspired optimization</a></li><li><a href="https://aka.ms/azfr/693/02">What are quan
