Unboxing Quantum Computing
summary
Commercial systems deliver concrete results: D-Wave’s 5000-qubit Advantage accessible via the Leap cloud and Ocean SDK runs real workloads and hybrid solvers. Examples: VW routes live buses; Save‑On‑Foods cuts a 25‑hour grocery optimization to 25 hours to 2 minutes (~500×); VW reduces paint‑switch waste ~80% (5×) and Denso cuts AGV wait times 15%. Demo shows hospital bed grouping via a CQM submitted to a QPU (variables embedded across three qubits each on a 5k graph) and nanosecond anneals that match Kibble–Zurek scaling.
