The development of catalysts, which are materials that promote chemical reactions, is one of the important research themes towards achieving carbon neutrality. In recent years, there has been active research on catalysts composed of multiple elements; however, due to the vast number of combinations of element arrangements, it is extremely difficult to clarify the arrangement of each element. In this project, we focused on alloys made from multiple metal elements and implemented a code to determine the arrangement of metals in the model using an annealing machine. Additionally, we also implemented a code to visualize the output alloy structures and their structural information. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

In recent years, while the demand for delivery has increased, the rise in re-deliveries and the shortage of delivery personnel have become issues in local small parcel delivery. Further cost reductions are difficult, and it is necessary to realize a new added value of "immediate delivery" through the acceleration of calculations in annealing machines. Therefore, in this uncharted target project, we focused on developing algorithms that quickly solve multi-objective optimization problems, taking into account efficient route exploration with shorter travel distances for delivery personnel, as well as minimizing consumer waiting times. *For more detailed information, you can view the related links.

We worked on the theme of solving environmental issues related to the construction industry. It has been reported that approximately 40% of global CO2 emissions come from the construction industry, and as a countermeasure, the promotion of buildings aimed at achieving net zero annual energy consumption, known as ZEB (Net Zero Energy Building), is being advanced worldwide. Achieving ZEB requires significant energy conservation. It is important to suppress the energy load of buildings by appropriately combining advanced equipment and materials within specific constraints. In this uncharted target project, we aimed to contribute to the spread of environmentally friendly buildings by developing an energy-efficient building design support tool called "ZEBOpt," which utilizes an annealing machine to reverse-engineer exterior designs from energy-saving building standards. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
