1. An optimization function creation apparatus comprising:
an input setting circuitry configured to set a set Path of paths, a set Edge of edges, a maximum bandwidth Max, a bandwidth p.bandwidth required by a path p(∈Path), and a set e.paths(⊆Path) of paths that include an edge e(∈Edge), as input to a bandwidth allocation plan problem for creating a bandwidth allocation plan for paths so as to satisfy a condition (hereinafter referred to as an “optimization condition”) of minimizing a bandwidth allocated for the paths of the set Path as a whole under a predetermined constraint condition;
an optimization function creation circuitry configured to create an optimization function for solving the bandwidth allocation plan problem using the input, the optimization function relating to a variable that represents a quantum state; and
another circuitry configured to allocate, based on the created optimization function, a minimized bandwidth allocated for the path of the set Path and transmit data through the path of the set Path.
