Us:

D-Wave is the leader in the delivery of quantum systems, software and services. Our vision is to deliver practical quantum computing to the world. We do that by working with our customers to build in-production hybrid quantum applications in sectors like financial services, healthcare, new materials discovery, manufacturing, mobility, and pharmaceuticals.

Oh, and we do some pretty amazing things while harnessing quantum effects. And have tons of fun in the process.

Our web service, Leap, is the only cloud service that delivers real-time access to a quantum computer (currently the D-Wave 2000Q) and a full suite of open-source programming tools. Leap now has hybrid capabilities that combine the power of quantum and classical computers, analogous to the way a CPU works with a GPU, enabling the solution of very large problems. Software tools make programming easy, in languages like Python.
