Quantum speedup of branch-and-bound algorithms

Branch-and-bound is a widely used technique for solving combinatorial optimization problems where one has access to two procedures: a branching procedure that splits a set of potential solutions into subsets, and a cost procedure that determines a lower bound on the cost of any solution in a given s...
