D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, recently announced the launch of the new Leap Quantum LaunchPad program. Designed to accelerate the deployment of quantum computing applications, the initiative offers access to D-Wave technology on a free trial basis to qualifying participants, along with professional expertise for customers using annealing quantum computing to tackle complex business and scientific problems (https://ibn.fm/WhcZV).
As adoption of annealing quantum computing technology continues to grow, D-Wave is already providing quantum technology solutions to more than 100 commercial, government and research customers to help drive efficiencies, lower costs, optimize operations, and support groundbreaking scientific research that may expand beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Customers have used D-Wave’s Advantage quantum computing systems to address a wide range of challenges, from employee and production scheduling to resource optimization, logistics routing, cargo loading, academic research, and more.
One of the biggest challenges that modern businesses are facing is optimizing vast numbers of variables (optimization problems), with organizations needing faster and more efficient approaches to solving complex questions. Annealing computing has been proven to efficiently address such optimization problems.
Through the Leap Quantum LaunchPad program, D-Wave intends to jump-start the move to production deployment of quantum computing applications by helping customers directly achieve immediate value from D-Wave annealing quantum computing technology. With the goal of accelerating exploration, development and implementation of quantum and hybrid-quantum applications, the program will offer participants access to D-Wave technology and support resources for a 3-month free trial period, including:
- D-Wave’s Advantage production-grade annealing quantum computers, with 5,000+ qubits, and sub-second response times.
- D-Wave’s Leap real-time quantum cloud service, which provides 99.9% uptime and availability, security and scalability, developer tools, and a suite of advanced optimization hybrid solvers.
- Technical guidance from D-Wave quantum and optimization experts.
Those interested in participating in the program can find out more about it and submit an application at https://ibn.fm/slyJF.
In addition to the Leap Quantum LaunchPad program, D-Wave is also providing expanded quantum technology access for its Quantum Programming Core and Quick Start Training programs, which offer comprehensive expert-led training designed to put theory into practice with real-world quantum applications (https://ibn.fm/Z2hxf).
“The Leap Quantum LaunchPad program will offer the access and support needed to quickly get started on the journey to realizing the power of quantum computing today,” said Lorenzo Martinelli, Chief Revenue Officer at D-Wave. “Through this initiative, we intend to help visionary organizations and individuals develop transformative quantum computing applications to address challenging business and scientific problems, and rapidly move those applications into production deployment.”
