Recently, quantum-inspired modeling schemes based on tensor networks have been developed which have the potential to better identify and represent correlations in datasets. Here, we use a quantum-inspired model-based optimization method TN-GEO to assess the efficacy of these quantum-inspired methods when applied to realistic problems. In this case, the problem of interest is the optimization of a realistic assembly line based on BMW's currently utilized manufacturing schedule. Through a comparison of optimization techniques, we found that quantum-inspired model-based optimization, when combined with conventional black-box methods, can find lower-cost solutions in certain contexts.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.02179v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.02179v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"quantum-inspired-optimization-for-industrial","repo_url":"https://github.com/zapatacomputing/tn-geo-car-plant-optimization","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
