NEC Vector Annealing service
Simulated quantum annealing that finds optimal solutions from
a massive number of combinations of options in a realistic timeframe
Case: NEC Fielding adopted the NEC Vector Annealing in October 2022, turning their two-hour task by experienced staff into a 12- minute automated operation.
