QHDOPT implements a quantum optimization algorithm named Quantum Hamiltonian Descent (QHD) on available quantum computers (such as the D-Wave systems). QHD is a quantum-upgraded version of gradient descent (GD). Unlike the classical GD, QHD demonstrates a significant advantage in solving nonconvex and nonlinear optimization problems.
