Quantum computing technology

Finding the best answer, in an instant.

Quantum computing technology
from Groovenauts

A quantum computer is a next-generation computing technology that derives answers with high accuracy and speed,
using a different principle from conventional computers — the physical phenomena known as quantum mechanics.

Among quantum computers, the quantum annealing type is the furthest along toward practical use,
and it excels at instantly searching a vast set of options for the best answer.

Water, for example, flows
from high ground to low.

Energy moves
from high to low.

The lowest point is
the optimal solution for that situation.

A quantum computer applies this idea, using physical phenomena
to search for the optimal solution that minimizes or maximizes an objective. It is a fundamentally new kind of technology.

The quantum computing
approach

Optimal solutions × extreme speed

What quantum computers do well — instantly searching a vast set of options for the best answer —
is known in academic terms as the combinatorial optimization problem, and it is exactly what conventional computers struggle with.

Conventional computers

To find the best answer
they must calculate every pattern
before producing a result,
so the work never finishes in practical time

among a vast number of patterns

Getting not merely a close answer
but the best answer that satisfies every condition,
instantly, makes it possible to respond
to change in real time.

In fact, combinatorial optimization problems
are everywhere
in business

Operations quantum computing can solve

  • Production scheduling for
    the shortest lead time
  • Shift planning that maximizes productivity
  • Real-time route planning
    that avoids congestion
  • Maximizing load ratios in transport and delivery
  • Optimizing inventory placement
    across plants and warehouses
  • Streamlining picking work
  • Layout design for maximum sales

Combinatorial
optimization

When you draw up a production plan or a work shift plan, you cannot allocate resources — people, materials, money — without limit.
What matters is working out the most effective combination of resources that maximizes productivity while keeping your current structure intact.

Building a shift plan also means accounting for a range of operational rules and constraints: each person's working conditions and time-off requests, headcount and skill requirements, labor costs, how well people work together.
When you set out to build a shift plan that satisfies all of these and still maximizes your objective, a quantum computer shows its strength.

Much of the planning work that rests on experience and expert judgment can be defined as a combinatorial optimization problem. Applying a quantum computer here makes it possible to reproduce and strengthen work that would otherwise depend on that expertise.

What sets the Groovenauts
quantum computing solution
apart

The first commercial solution of its kind in the world,
with quantum computing models built in

It automatically generates the dedicated models required to run a quantum machine (QUBO / Ising models). You simply enter the information your operation needs, and it derives answers that conventional computers could not reach.

A choice of quantum machines

D-Wave machines (quantum annealing), the Toshiba Simulated Bifurcation Machine (quantum-inspired), and others — you can choose and switch between the machines best suited to the problem and its scale.
