D-Wave Cuts Stride Solver Benchmark Time From 120 Seconds to 15

D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced Nov. 4 that an updated version of its Stride hybrid solver completed a benchmark in 15 seconds, compared with 120 seconds for its previous version. Separately, D-Wave's traveling-salesperson tests with as many as 10,000 locations showed average error of 0.02% from the best possible route. In comparisons with equal runtime, the updated solver's results were more than 200 times closer to the optimum than the previous version. The traveling-salesperson problem asks a system to find the shortest route that visits each location once.
