D-Wave Quantum Computers

deepspace / 2024-07-21 / quantum computer

D-Wave Systems is a Canadian company renowned for being the first to commercialize a quantum computer. While the quantum computing landscape is rapidly evolving, D-Wave has carved a unique niche for itself by focusing on a specific type of quantum computing: quantum annealing.

Unlike the gate-based model pursued by many other quantum computing companies, D-Wave's computers excel at solving optimization problems. These are problems where you're trying to find the best possible solution from a vast number of possibilities.
