Many important business problems can be solved more efficiently and more successfully using quantum-powered optimization. This course equips learners with the knowledge and tools to complete the first steps in developing a quantum application: problem discovery and problem description.
Learners will be able to identify problems that can benefit from D-Wave’s quantum-classical hybrid technology and then describe those problems in a way that allows developers to model them. These skills are crucial for the success of quantum optimization projects.
This beginner-level course is appropriate for any stakeholder involved in identifying and shaping optimization use cases for quantum computing.
Course content is asynchronous online and requires approximately five hours to complete.
