Simulated Quantum Bifurcation Machine+ on Azure Quantum: An Ising Model Solver That Can Solve Combinatorial Optimization Problems With up to 100,000 Variables at High Speed

…Toshiba has adopted a new approach, inspired by their quantum computing research, that significantly improves the speed, accuracy, and scale of their SBM…

…Toshiba’s new Simulated Quantum Bifurcation Machine+ (SQBM+) on Azure Quantum, based on its Simulated Bifurcation Machine (SBM), is an Ising model solver that can solve complex and large-scale combinatorial optimization problems with up to 100,000 variables at high speed…

…There are two algorithms available through the SQBM+ provider in Azure Quantum: the high-speed Ballistic Simulated Bifurcation algorithm (bSB) designed to find a good solution in a short time; and the high-accuracy Discrete Simulated Bifurcation algorithm (dSB) which finds more accurate solutions at a calculation speed that surpasses that of other machines (both classical and quantum)…
