A practical approach to quantum annealing (part1)
How do you actually program a quantum computer? Find out how to solve problems using quantum annealing and D-Wave's Ocean software.
In this series of talks, we will be writing programs from scratch, run them on the D-Wave 2000Q and review the results.
Part 1
- Quantum annealing and the Ocean software suite
- Using the Binary Quadratic Model
- Introduction to solving Constraint Satifsfaction Problems
Quantum annealing is a technique for solving NP-hard problems using quantum physics. It is gaining significant traction as an alternative - or supplement - to gate model quantum computing. D-Wave has for several years been delivering fully functional quantum computers to research institutions and industry based on this principle and there is a growing body of research and open source software around the technology.
