VIRTUAL | Niels Sthen Hansen & Nicholai Stålung: Practical Quantum Computing - Quantum Annealing

Quantum annealing is a technique for solving NP-hard problems using quantum physics. It is gaining significant traction as an alternative - or supplement - to gate model quantum computing. D-Wave has for several years been delivering fully functional quantum computers to research institutions and industry based on this principle and there is a growing body of research and open source software around the technology.

In this 1-day interactive masterclass you will learn how to formulate problems and write programs usings D-Wave's Ocean SDK and Leap cloud platform.

Topics:

• Hardware and basic principles
• API and Programming Model
• Constraint Satisfaction Problems
• Network Analysis and Network Algorithms
• Solving Large Problems - Divide and Conquer
• Artifical Neural Networks Optimization
• Cloud and Hybrid Algorithms
