Problem
Many organizations face computational challenges that are intractable for classical hardware, such as large-scale optimization, materials simulation, and quantum chemistry, yet lack practical access to quantum resources that can address these problems.
Solution
D-Wave offers a dual‑platform quantum computing portfolio that combines annealing and gate‑model technologies to tackle a broad spectrum of computational workloads. The Advantage2 system provides on‑premises access to a high‑qubit annealing processor, while the Leap cloud service delivers real‑time, enterprise‑grade access to the same hardware plus hybrid quantum‑classical solvers. Developers can build applications using the open‑source Ocean™ Python toolkit, which integrates with both the on‑premises system and the cloud platform. Professional services, including the Launch program, guide customers from problem identification through production deployment, ensuring that quantum solutions are integrated into existing workflows. The combined offering enables users to solve optimization, AI, materials science, and drug discovery problems at scales beyond classical capabilities.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises, research institutions, and public‑sector organizations that need to solve large‑scale optimization, materials, AI, or quantum chemistry problems, as well as developers building quantum applications across these domains.
