Toshiba's SQBM+ Now Available Via Strangeworks Pay-As-You-Go Optimization Service

Strangeworks and Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation have recently enhanced their partnership, a move set to revolutionize the way enterprises tackle complex optimization problems. By integrating Toshiba's quantum-inspired optimization solution, SQBM+, into Strangeworks' extensive catalog of optimizers, this collaboration aims to provide unparalleled access to advanced problem-solving tools. The SQBM+ software stands out for its use of a simulated bifurcation algorithm, offering a robust approach to combinatorial optimization challenges found in sectors such as financial services, aerospace, and energy.

Unlike other SQBM+ offerings that necessitate users to establish and manage their infrastructure, Strangeworks distinguishes itself by delivering fast, cost-efficient results through its Quantum as a Service (QaaS) ecosystem. This setup allows users to access both small and large instances of SQBM+, enabling scalable compute power tailored to specific business needs. The SQBM+ is adept at finding high-precision, approximate solutions swiftly for problems with up to 10 million variables, supporting a variety of problem formats including QUBO, PUBO, and QPLIB.

Whurley, founder and CEO of Strangeworks, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership, noting the exceptional scalability and value the SQBM+ solvers bring to enterprise customers. Hiroshi Tsukino, Director and Vice President of Toshiba Digital Solutions, also highlighted the significance of integrating SQBM+ technology with Strangeworks' platform. He expressed optimism that this collaboration would not only hasten the adoption of quantum technology across different sectors but also spur the creation of new industries.

The SQBM+ product is now accessible through the Strangeworks Optimization Service, which simplifies executing tasks across multiple optimizers. By employing a standardized input format, users can effortlessly switch between solvers with minimal adjustments, ensuring an efficient selection process for the most suitable backend for any given task. This service is currently utilized by Strangeworks’ Fortune 500 clients in life sciences, energy, and other vital industries to apply cutting-edge compute technologies to their high-value problems.
