Distributed optimisation and algorithms form a vibrant field that addresses the challenge of coordinating multiple agents or nodes to collectively solve global optimisation problems. This domain ...

Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) represent a class of population-based optimisation methods that replace traditional crossover and mutation operators with explicit probability modelling.

In a milestone that brings quantum computing tangibly closer to large-scale practical use, scientists at Oxford University Physics have demonstrated the first instance of distributed quantum computing ...
