An Efficient Quantum Algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem
Abstract
The traveling salesman problem is the problem of finding out the shortest route in a network of cities, that a salesman needs to travel to cover all the cities, without visiting the same city more than once. This problem is known to be
Note: Added Discussion and Conclusion sections, and also an Appendix with an example. Accepted in a reputed journal.
