AUSTIN, Texas, April 25, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Strangeworks, in collaboration with Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation, has enhanced its quantum computing services by integrating Toshiba's SQBM+ into its platform. This strategic partnership aims to leverage quantum-inspired optimization solutions for complex problems in industries such as finance, aerospace, and energy.

SQBM+, a software solution developed by Toshiba, utilizes a simulated bifurcation algorithm for combinatorial optimization, capable of handling up to 10 million variables. This solution is particularly effective in areas like portfolio optimization, drug discovery, and logistics management. Strangeworks now offers SQBM+ as part of its Quantum as a Service (QaaS) ecosystem, providing scalable computational resources without the need for extensive infrastructure investment by the end users.

Whurley, founder and CEO of Strangeworks, commented on the partnership, "The team at Toshiba has mastered quantum-inspired optimization, and their SQBM+ solvers provide demonstrable value to our enterprise customers via its exceptional scalability. Partnering to provide easy, cost-effective access to advanced technologies like SQBM+ is core to Strangeworks' mission,” he said. “This combined offering is already providing value to numerous customers, helping them address business-critical challenges within their organizations."

Hiroshi Tsukino, Director and Vice President of Toshiba Digital Solutions, also shared his views on the integration, "Quantum computing is starting to deliver notable results and achievements in optimization. Integrating our SQBM+ technology into Strangeworks' innovative quantum computing platform marks a pivotal step forward. This integration offers global users seamless access to SQBM+'s transformative capabilities. We anticipate this collaboration will not only expedite the adoption of quantum technology across various fields but also accelerate the creation of novel industries, fostering a new era of innovation accessible to users worldwide."

Strangeworks provides a simplified approach to utilizing multiple optimizers through a standardized input format, allowing users to easily switch computational backends by changing a single line of code, thereby enhancing flexibility and user experience.
