Title: The Fixstars Amplify: Versatile programming platform for quantum annealing machines and Ising machines
Abstract: At present, many quantum annealing machines and Ising machines have been proposed, and several machines have also been put into practical use. However, the software development environment and operation methods of each machine are very different, so it is not easy for researchers and engineers to use them. The Fixstars Amplify has been developed as a cloud platform to facilitate the development and execution of algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems of commercially available quantum annealing machines, Ising machines, mathematical optimization solvers, and gated quantum computers. An overview of its features will be introduced in this talk.
