Omnisolver: an extensible interface to Ising spin glass solvers
This is an incremental tool for researchers in quantum annealing and discrete optimization.
The authors tackled the challenge of implementing Binary Quadratic Model (BQM) solvers by introducing Omnisolver, a framework that reduces implementation effort through a command-line interface and input/output system, demonstrated with an example plugin.
We introduce a new framework for implementing Binary Quadratic Model (BQM) solvers called Omnisolver. The framework provides an out-of-the-box dynamically built command-line interface as well as an input/output system, thus heavily reducing the effort required for implementing new algorithms for solving BQMs. The proposed software should be of benefit for researchers focusing on quantum annealers or discrete optimization algorithms as well as groups utilizing discrete optimization as a part of their daily work. We demonstrate the ease of use of the proposed software by presenting a step-by-step, concise implementation of an example plugin.
