（ picture source ：QCI）

In recent days, , American quantum computing company Quantum Computing Inc.（QCI） Announced its relationship with BMW Group （BMW） New achievements in the field of quantum computing , They passed the QCI Entropy quantum computation (EQC) Light quantum hardware technology is applied to BMW Application scenarios for vehicle sensor configuration optimization , stay 6 More than... Were solved in minutes 3800 Optimization of variables , And gives an effective solution .

This is a quantum milestone .QCI Express , They dealt with a problem caused by 3,854 A variable and 500 A complex problem consisting of multiple constraints , And now NISQ Quantum computers can only process about 127 A variable .

before , stay 2021 Year by year BMW In the quantum computing challenge held with Amazon Web Services ,QCI Based on the D-Wave The hybrid implementation scheme has successfully entered the finals of the vehicle sensor configuration use case group competition , The goal of this group competition is to explore the best sensor configuration scheme of the vehicle by using quantum computing technology . stay 2022 In, he acquired Guangliang subsystem company QPhoton after ,QCI Integrated new EQC Optical quantum hardware technology , And made this milestone progress .

QCI from 15 The new configuration scheme composed of sensors realizes 96% Coverage of , Compared with the earlier D-Wave Hybrid implementation plan ,EQC The running speed of the scheme has increased by more than 70 times .QCI Express , With the continuous iteration of system stability ,EQC The usefulness of the solution will also continue to improve .

QCI CEO Bob Liscouski say ：“ We have achieved important milestone achievements in quantum development , We are very proud . Innovative quantum computing technology can solve today's real business problems , what's more , It has practical value in solving complex problems . It proves the feasibility of quantum solutions , This plan will also help accelerate the development of the autonomous vehicle industry .”

QCI Pointed out that , Because the number of quantum bits that can represent the problem variable is limited , commercial QPU Architecture can only deal with extreme value problems with minimum variables . also , Because of the error 、 Challenges such as stability and calibration , At present QPU The commercialization process of is limited . by comparison ,QCI Of EQC The optical quantum hardware can process coherent calculations in multivariable space , So as to provide a powerful quantum solution for solving real-world problems .

EQC Technology is based on the most basic principles of quantum physics , In particular, measurement assumptions —— Quantum systems and measuring equipment , Or in a broad sense, the surrounding environment interacts , Cause its wave function to collapse to a certain eigenstate . therefore , Most current quantum computing architectures emphasize that they must operate in strictly closed systems , Try to avoid being affected by the environment . and EQC It runs on an open quantum system , Carefully couple the quantum system into the engineering environment , And through the collapse of quantum states to find the optimal solution to related problems .

QCI

Full stack quantum software and hardware company , With the mission of accelerating the value of quantum computing in real-world business solutions , Create the future of quantum computing .QCI A series of light quantity subsystems have been developed (QPS), And quantum acceleration software Qatalyst Together to provide customers with a widely accessible full stack quantum solution , We hope to explore real-world industrial applications more conveniently .
