Traveling Salesman Problem from a Tensor Networks Perspective

Alejandro Mata Ali, Iñigo Perez Delgado, Aitor Moreno Fdez. de Leceta

We present a novel quantum-inspired algorithm for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and some of its variations using tensor networks. This approach consists on the simulated initialization of a quantum system with superposition of all possible combinations, an imaginary time evolution, a projection, and lastly a partial trace to search for solutions. We adapt it to different generalizations of the TSP and apply it to the job reassignment problem, a real productive industrial case.
