Parallelizing process model integration for model predictive control through oracle design and analysis for a Grover’s algorithm-inspired optimization strategy by Kip Nieman, Helen Durand, Saahil Patel, Daniel Koch, Paul M. Alsing

“…In model predictive control (MPC), a process dynamic model is utilized to make predictions of the value of the objective function and constraints throughout a prediction horizon. In one method of solving this problem, the time required to find the optimal values of the decision variables depends on the time required to perform the arithmetic operations involved in computing the model predictions. …”
