D-Wave Hybrid Solver Service + Advantage: Technology Update

The D-Wave hybrid solver service (HSS), available from the Leap quantum cloud service, was launched in February 2020. This document presents an overview and performance evaluation of an upgraded version of HSS launched in September 2020. The new version incorporates the Advantage quantum computer and contains software enhancements that expand the size and scope of problems that can be solved efficiently. This report shows how a hybrid approach incorporating both quantum and classical components can outperform either method used alone. A small performance study demonstrates that the upgraded version outperforms its predecessor as well as state-of-the art classical alternatives. Download white paper.
