Overview
SQBM+ is a set of solvers enabling users to quickly obtain nearly optimal solutions for large (e.g. millions of variables) combinatorial optimization problems, such as:
- Portfolio optimization and risk management in financial service
- 3D protein structure prediction in drug discovery process
- Factory shift optimization in manufacturing or warehouse management
Key features:
- Quickly obtains good approximate solutions for large optimization problems (QUBO, QPLIB and PUBO).
- Suitable for QUBO problems with up to 10 Million variables for the current version
- Easy to use. Complicated parameter setting is not required.
SQBM+ is developed based on the theory described in the following papers:
- Goto, H. et al. Combinatorial optimization by simulating adiabatic bifurcations in nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. Science Advances. 2019, 5, 4, eaav2372.
- Goto, H. et al. High-performance combinatorial optimization based on classical mechanics. Science Advances. 2021, 7, 6, eabe7953.
Highlights
- Purely software-based, no special quantum hardware needed.
- Up to 100 times faster than competing classical and quantum-inspired solvers, depending on use cases.
- This plan is for your internal business operations, learning, evaluation, and development purposes only. Please refer to the End User Agreement for more details.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
New solvers (TSP, SHIFT, QAP) are added. For more details, please refer to the Release Notes.
