A novel approach to face early pandemics using QUBO models

Detecting SARS-CoV-2 in sewer networks with QUBO models and a D-Wave hybrid solver.

Abstract

A proposal for an innovative approach to selecting sampling points in sewer networks in order to detect traces of SARS-CoV-2, formulated as a QUBO problem and solved using the D-Wave hybrid solver.
