Towards Quantum Advantage in the Energy Sector
summary
E.ON targets local peer‑to‑peer energy trading by mapping demand matrices to minimum permutation decompositions and shows a hybrid, sample‑based approach that uses QAOA sampling plus classical postprocessing to beat the best classical solver (fully corrective Frank‑Wolfe) on benchmark instances. Experiments include runs on IBM Kingston hardware (about 78–79 qubits), MPS classical simulation and theory proving the heuristic outperforms known classical methods for the tested sizes, paper released on arXiv.
