• Abstract: With IoT systems' increasing scale and complexity, maintenance of a large number of nodes using stationary devices is becoming increasingly difficult. Hence, mobile devices are being employed that can traverse through a set of target locations and provide the necessary services. In order to reduce energy consumption and time requirements, the devices are required to traverse following a Hamiltonian path. This problem can be formulated as a Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), an NP-hard problem. Moreover, in emergency services, the devices must traverse in real-time, demanding speedy path planning from the TSP instance. Among the well-known optimization techniques for solving the TSP problem, Ant Colony Optimization has a good stronghold in providing good approximate solutions. Moreover, ACO not only provides near-optimal solutions for TSP instances but can also output optimal or near-optimal solutions for many other demanding hard optimization problems. However, to have a fast solution, the next node selection, which needs to consider all the neighbors for each selection, becomes a bottleneck in the path formation step. Moreover, classical computers are constrained to generate only pseudorandom numbers. Both these problems can be solved using quantum computing techniques, i.e., the next node can be selected with proper randomization, respecting the provided set of probabilities in just a single execution and single measurement of a quantum circuit. Simulation results of the proposed Hybrid Quantum Ant Colony Optimization algorithm on several TSP instances have shown promising results, thus expecting the proposed work to be important in implementing real-time path planning in quantum-enabled mobile devices.

  Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) is most often approached in the tracking-by-detection paradigm, where object detections are associated through time. As these optimization problems are often NP-hard, they can only be solved exactly for small instances on current hardware. We show that our approach is competitive compared with state-of-the-art optimization-based approaches, even when using of-the-shelf integer programming solvers.
