Abstract

Quantum computing has gone from the lab to the enterprise, and industry analysts cite optimization as the ideal near-term use case for quantum computers.
While you may think production use of quantum computers is years away, the first commercial quantum applications in production are using D-Wave’s quantum hybrid technology. This workshop will cover the following topics:

· An introduction to quantum computers, quantum annealing, and optimization solvers

· What kinds of business problems are good candidates for quantum hybrid solutions

· Real-world use case examples: how quantum hybrid is being used for optimization applications such as cellular network optimization, resource and workforce scheduling, production scheduling and other complex business problems

· How quantum systems are programmed and the tools for developers, including live demos and an introduction to Leap, D-Wave’s real-time cloud service. The Leap service provides access to a portfolio of hybrid solvers, enabling enterprises to address all kinds of business problems that range in size and complexity

· How to get started with quantum for business
