Towards Scalable Quantum Unit Commitment in Power Systems: Encoding and Complexity Reduction Techniques
This paper develops a Quantum optimisation Unit Commitment (UC) framework that benefits from Pauli Correlation Encoding (PCE) as a qubit reduction preprocessing technique and Sample-based Quantum Diagonalisation (SQD) as a hybrid post-processing refinement method. The UC problem is formulated in binary form, then trans...
