Press release from: Aqarios
A new Qiskit function that integrates real-world constraints natively into the quantum computation, producing better and faster solutions to complex optimization problems, executed on IBM quantum hardware.
MUNICH, Germany, September 15, 2026 - Aqarios GmbH today launched the Constrained Quantum Optimizer, a new solution in the IBM Qiskit Functions Catalog that organizations can use to help solve complex, real-world planning and scheduling problems using quantum computing. Built on Aqarios' FlexQAOA algorithm, it integrates the constraints of an optimization problem natively into the quantum algorithm, producing better, valid solutions that penalty-based approaches can't guarantee.
Behind many of an organization's most consequential planning decisions lies an optimization problem: finding the best possible option from countless alternatives while satisfying a set of hard constraints. Businesses use it to cut costs, reduce travel time, allocate scarce resources, and improve efficiency. As these problems grow in size and ...
