- D-Wave introduced algorithmic updates to its Constrained Quadratic Model (“CQM”) solver, delivering increased performance for existing binary problem classes, including offer allocation, portfolio optimization, and satisfiability
- D-Wave tested 2,045 binary quadratic problems, with the new CQM solver winning 80% of the problems against prior versions
- D-Wave’s hybrid solvers expand the size and complexity of potential problems customers can solve using classical and quantum computation to find better answers to complex business problems
D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, recently announced an update to its Constrained Quadratic Model (“CQM”) hybrid solver in its Leap(TM) quantum cloud service. The company introduced algorithmic updates to its CQM solver, delivering increased performance for existing binary problem classes, including offer allocation, portfolio optimization, and satisfiability (https://ibn.fm/1AGIY).
D-Wave’s Advantage(TM) quantum computer is the first and only quantum computer designed for business applications. The platform features a processing architecture with over 5,000 qubits and 15-way connectivity. The Advantage system features 2.5x more connections and more than double the number of qubits than the company’s first-generation quantum computer model.
Optimization problems are everywhere in today’s enterprises, and the current quantum-hybrid technology available may help developers tackle quadratic problems to find better solutions. To provide a benchmark of the performance enhancements made to its updated hybrid solver, D-Wave tested 2,045 binary quadratic problems, with the new CQM solver winning 80% of the problems against prior versions. The full technical report can be found at https://ibn.fm/hzcCJ.
D-Wave offers several hybrid solvers, which combine the power of classical and quantum computation to solve customers’ complex business problems. D-Wave’s hybrid solvers are available in the Leap quantum cloud service. Some of these solvers make use of NVIDIA GPUs accessed through cloud infrastructure.
“Our mission at D-Wave is to unlock the power of practical quantum computing for our customers. These most recent updates to our CQM hybrid solver reflect our commitment to building solutions that bring real enterprise applicability and impact today,” said Trevor Lanting, vice president of software, algorithms, and cloud services for D-Wave. “We’re excited by the performance enhancements that we are seeing, and our rapid pace of innovation allows us to expand quantum-hybrid workflows to help solve increasingly complex problems.”
As the only quantum computing company capable of solving real-world business problems today, D-Wave has helped customers build hundreds of practical quantum applications spanning logistics, artificial intelligence, materials sciences, drug discovery, employee scheduling, national defense, and financial modeling (https://ibn.fm/UQ7Jl). Some of the customers that D-Wave works with include Forbes Global 2000 companies and blue-chip industry leaders like Volkswagen, Mastercard, Deloitte, ArcelorMittal, Siemens Healthineers, Unisys, Accenture, BBVA, NEC Corporation, Pattison Food Group Ltd., DENSO and Lockheed Martin.
D-Wave owns one of the industry’s largest quantum computer intellectual property portfolios, including more than 210 issued US patents, and has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers in leading scientific journals.
