Installation

• Python 3.7
• numpy 1.21 (pip install numpy)
• matplotlib 3.4 (pip install matplotlib)
• pickle5 (pip install pickle5)
• D-Wave Ocean (pip install dwave-ocean-sdk)
• qubovert (pip install qubovert)
• Gurobi (python -m pip install gurobipy==9.1.2)
• opencv (pip install opencv-python)

Usage

• Synthetic data (script main_synthetic.py)

  1. (Optional) Register an account on D-Wave Leap (https://cloud.dwavesys.com/leap/login/?next=/leap/), obtain TOKEN of D-Wave Leap, and assign its value to the variable TOKEN within the script.
  2. Run script Note: if TOKEN of D-Wave Leap is provided (step 1), QUBO will be solved by quantum annealing, otherwise QUBO will be solved by simulated annealing

• Real data (script main_fund.py)

  • Simply run script (It may take around 30 minutes)
