While viable general-purpose quantum computing is still a way off, D-Wave Systems has just deployed its third cloud-based quantum annealing system and has updated its coding tools to tackle new categories of enterprise optimization problems.
Like its predecessors, D-Wave’s third Advantage system can be accessed via D-Wave’s own Leap quantum cloud or, beginning May 12, AWS’s Amazon Braket service. The new machine is hosted at the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute in Marina Del Rey, Calif.; the others are at D-Wave’s headquarters in Burnaby, British Columbia, and in Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich supercomputing center.
