Who can benefit from iQ-Xtreme?

Many real planning and routing problems are NP-hard and highly non-convex. Classical solvers force these problems into a shape they can handle, through linearization or relaxation, which either degrades the quality of the solution or makes computation impractically slow. The problem gets worse the moment a decision is genuinely categorical or sequential rather than a plain number.

iQ Xtreme works natively with binary, integer, categorical, and permutation variables instead of transforming them into something a conventional solver can digest. Its algorithms are global rather than local, searching the space in a way that avoids getting stuck in a solution that looks good nearby but is far from the best one available.

This engine already runs in production today, inside iQ Finance. Beyond finance, we're validating it through QMIND, a public-private consortium funded by the Comunidad de Madrid and coordinated by GMV with BBVA, Repsol, and the CSIC, applying it to logistics and route assignment, and expanding it into space mission planning and energy. These are examples, not the full list, of what iQ Xtreme is built to address.

What Makes iQ-Xtreme special?

In practically every industry, optimization problems are ubiquitous and traditional optimizers often fall short, proving to be sub-optimal and time-consuming.

The challenges are particularly accentuated in the context of discrete and mixed-integer NP-Hard problems, where the necessity to explore millions of combinations presents a formidable complexity. Traditional approaches often stumble on two major hurdles:

Sub-optimal solutions

Sub-optimal solutions

They tend to produce approximate solutions that significantly deviate from the global optimum, resulting in sub-optimal outcomes.

Impractical computation time

Impractical computation time

The algorithms may require an exorbitant duration to deliver a solution, potentially spanning years, thus making them impractical for real-world applications.

With iQ Xtreme, we use quantum-inspired optimization algorithms that simulate quantum effects on classical computers, resulting in new numerical methods for these problems.

These algorithms are rooted in the natural principles of atomic cooling and self-organization into crystals, a process known as annealing. Unlike other conventional methods, they are global-based rather than local-based, avoiding the trap of getting stuck in a local optimum.

This is what lets us improve the quality of optimization results, offering solutions that are efficient and practical for your business needs, without requiring you to understand the algorithm to trust the outcome.

Our Platform

iQ-Xtreme is an API platform for solving hard mathematical optimization problems, especially oriented to highly non-convex discrete optimization. With iQ-Xtreme, users can solve quadratic problems with different types of discrete and mixed-integer variables, including challenging cardinality constraints.

As we continually benchmark and validate new optimization problems using real-world challenges, their integration is streamlined by our modular and extensible design. Our proprietary, cutting-edge algorithms are made accessible via an easy-to-use API that can be run on our high-performance cloud server or conveniently deployed as an on-premise solution.
