Toshiba's Breakthrough Algorithm Harnesses Edge of Chaos to Dramatically Boost Performance of its Quantum‑Inspired Computer

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 7, 2026--

Toshiba Corporation has developed a breakthrough algorithm that dramatically boosts the performance of the Simulated Bifurcation Machine (SBM), its proprietary quantum‑inspired combinatorial optimization computer. The new algorithm significantly improves the probability of obtaining an optimal solution or a known best solution within a limited number of trials -- referred to as the success probability, a key benchmark for evaluating combinatorial optimization technologies.
