News BMW's 3,854-Variable Problem Solved in Six Minutes With Quantum Computing

[Admin]

Quantum computing specialist QCI claims quantum advantage with its Entropy Quantum Computing approach. It solved an optimization problem for BMW that counted with 3,854 variables and 500 constraints, solving a problem that would take inordinately longer amounts of time to compute in a classical system than the six minutes the company needed to complete their calculations.

Finally a solution to the butt warming hot spot issues in the 3 series...

Does optimum placement include not having to dismantle half the vehicle to replace said sensor, because they couldn’t allow you those extra few mm of clearance?

(Addressing the industry here, not just BMW.)

After which the BMW engineers put the sensors where they'd actually fit. Been there; done that.

Maintenance cost was not one of the variables that was being minimized.

yes - Clio owner here. having to removed whole front of the car to change a headlight bulb is taking the piss. or remove the inner wing and steering rack to fit an header bolt.(BMW 325ti)

Or dismantling the entire dashboard of the car to replace the evaporator core (which should have been made of a non-corrosive material in the first place).
Highly over engineered and not well thought out.

Maintenance cost was not one of the variables that was being minimized.

But was charging a monthly subscription to customers included in the variables or is that only for things like heated seats and steering wheels?

 

[waltc3]

Color me very skeptical...

Is there a normal computer solved verification of the results?
