Genetic Optimization acceleration using a Quantum Annealer

Topic: Genetic Optimization acceleration using a Quantum Annealer
This talk will aim at providing a basic understanding of how genetic algorithms work in solving simple logic problems. We will be discussing about the Turing completeness of machines required to solve optimization problems. For any practical application, Classical Genetic Algorithm/ Genetic optimization have been quite ineffective but after the advent of Quantum Computers, Genetic optimization seems like a problem that can be accelerated by Quantum Computers. We will also go through some interesting examples like creating Ion Thrust drives, solving annealing problems and a lot of other interesting things using Quantum Genetic optimization.
