Algorithms are turning up in the most unlikely places, promising to assert mathematical probability into corners of our lives where intuition, instinct and hunches have long held sway.

Making the real-world connection, the guide then walks programmers through implementing the algorithms on IBM's publicly available 5-qubit IBMQX4 quantum computer and others.

Right now, [Kory]’s computer that can program itself only does so by creating simple ‘hello world’ programs.

Successive Linear Programming (SLP) algorithms solve nonlinear optimization problems via a sequence of linear programs. They have been widely used, particularly in the oil and chemical industries, ...
