Alleviating the quantum Big-M problem

Abstract A major obstacle for quantum optimizers is the reformulation of constraints as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). Current QUBO translators exaggerate the weight M of the penalty terms. Classically known as the “Big-M” problem, the issue becomes even more daunting for quan...
