A Guided Tour at D-Wave
Take a virtual tour of D-Wave's quantum computing lab with Murray Thom, VP of Software and Cloud Services, in this 40-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2020. Explore the inner workings of quantum computers, including why they operate at temperatures colder than interstellar space and what a QPU (Quantum Processing Unit) entails. Discover D-Wave's journey from research to commercial applications, learn about their Leap cloud services, and gain insights into quantum computing concepts like Shor's algorithm. Examine the physical infrastructure supporting quantum computers, including application servers and superconductivity technology. Get a close look at quantum processors through scanning electron microscope images and CAD files. Explore practical applications of quantum computing and learn how to access D-Wave's resources through their Leap platform, Ocean SDK, and open-source examples.
