Add a description, image, and links to the bin-packing-problem topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Abstract: Given a set of items, the Bin-Packing problem is to find the smallest number of boxes called “bins” for an optimal packing of items. In this paper, we discuss a special case of Bin-Packing, ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
