Systems, methods, and apparatus for solving problems

This invention describes a way to solve problems using a quantum computer. It involves translating any problem into a specific mathematical format called a QUBO, then feeding that into a quantum processor, and letting the quantum processor find a solution. The claims specifically narrow this down to comparing two objects and finding how similar they are.

Why it matters: Filed in 2011, this invention predates the significant advancements in quantum computing hardware and software development. While still in its early stages, the practical ability to build and program quantum processors to solve QUBO problems, especially for tasks like object comparison, has become far more tangible than it was fifteen years ago.
