Address Real-World Enterprise Problems with Hybrid-Quantum Computing
D-Wave’s Stride™ hybrid solver combines quantum and classical computing resources to give users the ability to quickly explore solutions to large optimization problems that can be difficult to obtain using classical computing methods alone.
Four Disciplines of Optimization in One Solver
D-Wave’s Stride hybrid solver is the only solution on the market that draws from four disciplines of optimization to help enterprises solve complicated computational problems that can transform operations and drive bottom line ROI:
-
Quantum Optimization
Leverages real-time access to advanced quantum computers to solve complex problems.
-
Mixed-Integer or Linear Programming
Incorporates the best of linear programming to solve problems efficiently even as a dataset grows in size and complexity.
-
Lists, Sets, and Other Combinatorial Variables
Allows for a more natural representation of users’ optimization problems, resulting in simpler and more intuitive implementations.
-
Tensor Programming
Enables efficient batch operations in optimization problems to scale models easily without additional developer effort.
Reap the Benefits of Hybrid Quantum Technology
Available through D-Wave's Leap™ quantum cloud service, the Stride hybrid solver automatically handles the allocation of classical and quantum compute resources to solve complex optimization problems at industrial scale, so businesses don’t have to.
- Easy to use: Developer teams familiar with Python can learn to write programs with D-Wave’s Ocean™ SDK.
- Robust optimization: The hybrid technology produces high-value solutions quickly for a wide variety of demanding optimization scenarios.
- Reliable: D-Wave's quantum cloud service and hybrid solvers provide 9% uptime and availability, QPUs with sub second response times, and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance for a production-grade experience.
- Easy to adapt: The Stride hybrid solver’s formulations are simple to adapt and scale as businesses grow and change.
Practical Hybrid-Quantum Applications
Placement of Police Vehicles for Optimal Emergency Response
North Wales Police (NWP) completed of a joint proof-of technology (POT) project leveraging D-Wave’s Stride hybrid solver to optimize placement of police vehicles for emergency response. The Stride hybrid solver delivered a faster, more accurate, and more efficient solution than classical methods alone, providing NWP with the ability to reduce the average incident response time by nearly 50%. The POT also demonstrated that NWP could respond to at least 90% of incidents within their target response time.
Improving Manufacturing Efficiency
BASF, one of the world’s leading chemical companies, used the Stride hybrid solver to optimize manufacturing workflows in a BASF liquid-filling facility. The hybrid-quantum technology set a new benchmark for manufacturing efficiency at BASF, allowing reduction of production scheduling time from 10 hours to just seconds..
Optimization of Autonomous Agriculture Vehicle Movements
D-Wave built a commercial hybrid quantum application to simulate and optimize the large-scale movement of autonomous agriculture vehicles for Verge Ag.
Optimizing Database Operations
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) used D-Wave’s Stride hybrid solver to improve how databases determine the most effective sequence for joining large sets of data. By integrating the hybrid solver into the query planning process, USC accelerated performance and increased the speed of the query execution by up to 13x on some instances.
