Quantum algorithms for solving data envelopment analysis models

In traditional optimization models, classical computers have been used to solve mathematical linear or non-linear models. In addition, by data envelopment analysis (DEA) models one can evaluate the relative efficiency of the decision-making units originally in the form of mathematical non-linear models. In this paper, a new attitude is presented in which quantum computers and quantum algorithms can be used to solve DEA models by two different methods. This suggested attitude is worthy to mention as this subject is new and will attract researchers to discuss and improve it.
