D-Wave has upgraded its Stride hybrid solver with significant speed and quality improvements in combinatorial optimization problems and launched a three-course Applied Quantum Optimization developer curriculum available on its Leap quantum cloud platform. Recent academic research demonstrated that D-Wave's quantum annealing hardware can outperform gate-based quantum systems in limited-data lung cancer classification tasks.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You can now cut solution times and improve optimisation quality dramatically using D-Wave’s upgraded hybrid solver, which means faster go-to-market cycles if you rely on combinatorial optimisation. The new learning path opens the door to get your dev team skilled in hybrid quantum software faster, reducing deployment delays in your product pipelines.
