"D-Wave 101: Running Our First Problem"

Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chkpLhk_4zo

Abstract:

In our last seminar we explored D-Wave’s Leap Cloud Platform and some current use cases. In this session, we’ll look a bit deeper in how to formulate and run an optimization problem using D-Wave’s quantum computers. Starting with a problem description, a binary quadratic model will be developed and Python program created using the Ocean SDK. Finally, the program will be run live on a quantum computer with a discussion of results and next steps.
