Empowers Organizations to Manage Increased
Complexity Across Key Optimization Problems, Expanding Problem
Types and Accelerating Commercial Benefit
D-Wave Systems Inc. – a global leader in quantum computing
software, services, and systems, and the only quantum computing
company building both annealing and gate model quantum computers –
today announced an update to its Constrained Quadratic Model (CQM)
hybrid solver in the Leap™ quantum cloud service. This update
enables organizations, for the first time, to leverage the power of
quantum computation to run constrained quadratic optimization
problems with continuous variables.

D-Wave's CQM Hybrid Solver In Action:
Tackling Real-World Business Challenges (Graphic: Business
Wire)
Because of this, the CQM solver allows quantum developers to
better represent constrained problems – such as production
capacity, available funds, and asset tracking – by using continuous
variables, unlocking a new class of problems and further
accelerating commercialization of quantum applications. For
example, with continuous variables, developers can determine
optimal vehicle routes by considering capacity, travel/wait times
and distances; pharmaceutical companies can more deeply analyze
patient outcomes of drug trials by reviewing trial duration,
time-to-patient outcomes and number of iterations; and energy
operators can more effectively deliver power to customers through
models that address generator output, fuel consumption and
emission, and storage levels.
“D-Wave’s new CQM hybrid solver introduces an exciting new
method for tackling complex problems in an unconventional way,”
said Rami Musa, director of supply chain modeling and analytics at
Johnson & Johnson. “By adding support for continuous variables,
D-Wave is expanding the utility of its quantum hybrid solver, and
the early results we’ve seen are impressive. We believe our work
with D-Wave is helping our business stay ahead of the curve and
plays an important role in our quantum strategy.”
The CQM solver was first made available in October 2021. It
incorporates problem constraints, allowing users to benefit from a
simplified expression of their constrained problems, significantly
expanding the size and complexity of problems customers can solve
with constraints to find the best answers to complex business
problems.
Benefits of the addition of continuous variables to the CQM
solver include:
- Industry First: For the first time ever, users can
leverage the power of quantum computation to run constrained
quadratic optimization problems that are defined on both discrete
and continuous variables, expanding the scope of quantum solutions
into the Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) space. This capability
further broadens the optimization problems D-Wave’s platform can
solve, expanding use cases and business impact.
- Demonstrated Business Value: Available in the Leap™
quantum cloud service, enhancements to the Constrained Quadratic
Model (CQM) hybrid solver enable organizations to find
higher-quality solutions to their most complex business problems.
This creates real business value, as models using continuous
variables can avoid the up to 50% per variable overhead of
“fragmentation waste” created previously when continuous variables
had to be rounded to integers.
- Convenience & Time Savings: Direct representation of
continuous variables is a more efficient approach in terms of human
time spent in reformulating and tuning problems to reduce waste due
to fragmentation.
- Cross-Industry Impact: The new CQM solver further
expands the commercial value of quantum computing applications
across numerous industries. These include: 2D and 3D bin packing
such as pallet, aircraft and truck loading; inventory management,
and job shop scheduling in manufacturing and logistics; portfolio
optimization in financial services; and drug trial optimization in
pharmaceuticals.
“The introduction of continuous variables in D-Wave’s CQM hybrid
solver service enables our customers to immediately begin unlocking
and deriving business value on even more complex optimization use
cases by using quantum hybrid applications,” said Murray Thom, vice
president of product management at D-Wave. “Our customers are
solving the increasingly-complex challenges facing organizations in
our fast-paced, ever-changing world – and we are driven by our
belief that quantum computing will play a central role in unlocking
these solutions. By providing, for the first time, the ability to
run continuous variables on quantum computers, we’re taking an
exciting step in the evolution of this innovative technology,
marking yet another product and commercial milestone that increases
the value of quantum computing to our Global 2000 customer
base.”
