Briefings

D-Wave announced a significant upgrade to its Stride hybrid solver, achieving solution quality within 0.02% of the best possible result for up to 10,000 locations in 15 seconds. The enhanced solver also reduced execution time for similar problems from 120 seconds to 15 seconds, representing a 200x improvement in solution quality and speed. A new three-course Applied Quantum Optimization learning path was launched to support developers in applying these optimizations to real-world business challenges.

Key points

• D-Wave's Stride hybrid solver achieved solution quality within 0.02% of the best possible result for up to 10,000 locations in 15 seconds.
• The enhanced solver reduced execution time for similar problems from 120 seconds to 15 seconds, a 200x improvement in solution quality and speed.

Context

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS) announced powerful performance enhancements to its Stride hybrid solver, combining quantum and classical computing resources to help users find high-quality solutions to large optimization problems. The company also launched a new three-course Applied Quantum Optimization learning path to accelerate hybrid-quantum optimization adoption.

Limitations

Benchmarks comparing the enhanced solver with its previous version demonstrated gains in solution quality and time to solution. Specific performance metrics for other problem types are not detailed in the evidence.
