Quantum similarity superposition algorithm QSSA

Bultinck, P., Kuppens, T, Girones, X. and Carbo-Dorca, R. (2003) Quantum similarity superposition algorithm (QSSA) a consistent scheme for molecular alignment and molecular similarity based on quantum chemistry. J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 43, 1143-1150. 

From a mathematical point of view, we can propose maximization of the MQSM as a function of a set of molecular alignment parameters in such a way as to obtain a superposition procedure with a general scope. Several algorithms aimed directly at maximizing the MQSM have been published. The first example is the MaxiSim algorithm developed by Constans et al. A second one is the quantum similarity superposition algorithm (QSSA) by Bultinck et al. An algorithm developed by Stefanov and Cioslowski is similar to the MaxiSim and QSSA ideas, and it will therefore not be described explicitly because it invokes similar points of view.
