While breakthroughs in quantum computing technology seem to be in tech news every day, very little is said about the actual applications of the super fast computers of the future. Researchers in the field tout their ability to increase computational speed exponentially to solve problems, create unbreakable cryptology, and possibly fix molecular problems in chemistry, but the full potential of quantum computer applications is still greatly unknown.

Now a study out of Caltech, to be presented at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE, 2017 Symposium on the Foundations of Computer Science, posits that “semi definite programs” are ideal for use with quantum computers[…]
