A Dual-Platform Approach to Quantum Computing
D-Wave is advancing quantum computing through two complementary platforms: annealing and gate-model quantum systems. This dual-platform approach gives customers access to quantum technologies designed for different classes of problems and use cases.
Annealing quantum computing is available today for real-world optimization and hybrid applications. Gate-model quantum computers, once commercialized, are expected to be especially powerful in areas such as quantum chemistry, materials science as well as AI.
Annealing Quantum Systems for Practical Applications
Annealing quantum computers are powerful, energy-efficient systems designed to address computationally complex problems in business and science. As the world’s first supplier of commercial quantum computers available for enterprise, D-Wave's annealing quantum technology is designed to help businesses accelerate decision-making, overcome optimization challenges, and respond to disruptions with greater agility.
The Advantage2™ system is available through the Leap™ quantum cloud service or on-premises deployment. The Leap service also provides access to D-Wave’s Stride™ hybrid solver, which helps optimize complex problems at industrial scale by allocating quantum and classical resources while reducing the need for businesses to develop and maintain hybrid algorithms.
Gate-Model Technology Designed to Support Error-Aware Exploration
Built on superconducting technology, D-Wave’s gate-model work is focused on scalable systems designed to support error-aware exploration. Enabled by D-Wave’s dual-rail architecture, this capability uses error detection to give users new data and insight for advancing toward fault tolerance and exploring increasingly sophisticated quantum applications.
As part of D-Wave’s dual-platform approach, gate-model development adds a complementary quantum approach to D-Wave’s production-ready annealing systems, helping align the right quantum technology to the right problem.
Quantum Computing in Action
D-Wave customers are using and exploring quantum and hybrid technologies to address complex challenges in business, science, and research. These stories show how organizations can apply quantum computing to help improve operations, accelerate research, and make better decisions.
"D-Wave’s hybrid quantum technology demonstrated in this proof-of-concept it has the potential to significantly improve optimization tasks, delivering faster decisions and better outcomes than classical-only solutions."
On-Premises Systems Offering
On-premises Advantage2 annealing quantum systems are available to purchase for those who demand the security, access, and control that comes with housing a system locally. On-premises installation and system ownership provide customers the ability to tightly integrate with existing classical and HPC systems, leverage and tune system parameters, and take advantage of new system innovations, such as advanced analog-digital features, as they are developed.
