Why QuantumJolt

Standard optimizers break down at high dimensions. QuantumJolt doesn't.

High-Dimensional Mastery

Maintains performance at 100, 500, even 1000+ dimensions where gradient-based methods and standard evolutionary algorithms fail catastrophically.

Adaptive Learning Rate

SPSA-based gradient estimation with automatic step size adaptation. No manual tuning required—the algorithm adjusts to your problem landscape.

Multimodal Problems

Excels on landscapes with many local optima. Achieves machine precision (10⁻¹⁶) on Ackley and Griewank where competitors get stuck.

Evaluation Efficient

Only 2 function evaluations per iteration regardless of dimension. Critical when each evaluation is computationally expensive.

No Gradient Required

Works with black-box functions. No need for analytical derivatives—just pass your objective function and bounds.

Production Ready

Clean Python API, comprehensive error handling, and detailed logging. Drop-in replacement for SciPy's optimize interface.

Benchmark Results

Validated performance on standard test functions. Lower scores are better.

Use Cases

Where QuantumJolt delivers results

ML Hyperparameter Optimization

Tune 50+ hyperparameters simultaneously—learning rates, layer sizes, regularization coefficients, dropout rates. QuantumJolt handles the high-dimensional search space where grid search and random search fail.

Engineering Design

Optimize complex designs with hundreds of parameters—aerodynamic profiles, structural configurations, material compositions. When each simulation costs hours, efficient exploration matters.

Portfolio Optimization

Allocate across hundreds of assets with complex constraints. The multimodal landscape of risk-return tradeoffs requires an optimizer that won't get trapped in local optima.

Controller Tuning

Tune PID controllers, neural network policies, or hybrid systems with dozens of parameters. Find configurations that standard methods miss.
