abstract

We consider packings of the plane using discs of radius 1 and r. A packing is compact if every disc D is tangent to a sequence of discs D_1, D_2, ..., D_n such that D_i is tangent to D_{i+1}. We prove that there are only nine values of r with r<1 for which such packings are possible. For each of the nine values we describe the possible compact packings.

  • Sphere Packing on a Quantum Computer for Chromatography Modeling quant-ph · 2024-11-30 · conditional · none · ref 21 · internal anchor

    A proof-of-concept that maps circle packing for chromatography to a maximum independent set problem and runs QAOA on 18 qubits, with resource estimates for harder sphere packing variants.
