This comprehensive, hands-on training allows you to quickly put theory into practice with real-world quantum applications. This online course is designed for anyone who wants to learn the basics of quantum programming using D-Wave technology.

Course materials include recorded presentations, quizzes, and assignments. You'll also have access to a skilled instructor and other D-Wave experts to share new ideas and skills. The course runs for one week and is supported by virtual instructor office hours. We offer an additional one week grace period after this to allow learners to complete assignments. It requires about 30 hours total to complete.

All purchases are in USD.

  • Examine different problems in your area of interest for suitability for D-Wave’s products.
  • Break down an optimization problem into distinct objectives and constraints.
  • Formulate an optimization problem as a quadratic model.
  • Write an Ocean program to run on D-Wave’s quantum computer and hybrid solvers.

Quantum Programming Core is an intermediate-level course designed for individuals who want to accelerate quantum application development.

We recommend having:

  • Intermediate Python programming skills,
  • Comfort working with math equations and graphs, and
  • Familiarity with matrix operations.
