Fixstars Amplify, Inc. (CEO: Yoshiki Matsuda) has launched 'Amplify Quantum,' an extension for its 'Fixstars Amplify SDK' that provides more powerful support for optimization using quantum computers. The Fixstars Amplify SDK has previously supported numerous quantum annealing machines and Ising machines, enabling the solution of combinatorial optimization problems within a unified development environment.
With Amplify Quantum, connectivity to IBM Quantum, Qulacs, and Amazon Braket has become more seamless, further strengthening support for quantum computing. Specifically, the newly supported connection to Amazon Braket significantly expands the range of available solvers.
Accelerating R&D for Optimization Using Quantum Computers
Quantum computers have distinct characteristics, such as the number of available qubits and error rates, depending on the provider and device. Therefore, to maximize the potential of actual machines, it is essential to verify the 'optimal combination of device and algorithm' from a wide variety of quantum algorithms.
Amplify Quantum meets these advanced R&D demands and provides a platform that supports the future development of quantum computing through the following features:
Main Features of Amplify Quantum
Seamless access to diverse computing resources: Amazon Braket allows users to utilize quantum computers provided by multiple vendors. This has significantly expanded the selection of available quantum computers and simulators. Users can execute optimization tasks and compare performance across different quantum devices using unified code simply by swapping the SDK client class.
Expansion of supported algorithms: In addition to the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) previously supported, the SDK now supports multiple major quantum optimization algorithms. This allows users to flexibly select and execute the optimal algorithm for the characteristics of each quantum device.
