Address Real-World Enterprise Problems with Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing
D-Wave’s hybrid quantum-classical solver for nonlinear programs (NL solver) combines quantum and classical computing resources to give users the ability to quickly explore solutions to large optimization problems that can be difficult to obtain using classical computing methods alone.
The NL solver supports up to two million variables and constraints, enabling enterprises to address large and complex optimization problems for business-critical workflows such as workforce scheduling, logistics routing, price optimization, production scheduling, and more.
Four Disciplines of Optimization in One Solver
The NL solver is the only solution on the market that draws from four disciplines of optimization to help enterprises solve complicated computational problems that can bottom line ROI:
1. Quantum Optimization: Leverages real-time access to the world’s most advanced quantum computers to solve highly complex problems.
2. Mixed-Integer or Linear Programming: Incorporates the best of linear programming to solve problems efficiently even as a dataset grows in size and complexity.
3. Lists, Sets, and Other Combinatorial Variables: Allows for a more natural representation of users’ optimization problems, resulting in simpler and more intuitive implementations.
4. Tensor Programming: Enables efficient batch operations in optimization problems to scale models easily without additional developer effort.
Reap the Benefits of Quantum-Classical Hybrid Technology
Available through D-Wave's Leap™ quantum cloud service, the NL solver automatically handles the allocation of classical and quantum compute resources to solve complex optimization problems at industrial scale, so businesses don’t have to.
Easy to Use
Developer teams familiar with Python can learn to write programs with D-Wave’s Ocean™ SDK.
Practical Hybrid Quantum-Classical Applications

Police Forward Deployment
The North Wales Police department partnered with D-Wave to optimize the practice of positioning officers closer to critical incident locations to deliver faster response times and maximize coverage. As a result of using D-Wave’s hybrid quantum-classical solver, North Wales Police responded to at least 90% of incidents within their desired target response time.
Optimization of Autonomous Agriculture Vehicle Movements
D-Wave and Staque, a leading consulting and development practice in AI, blockchain and quantum computing, built a commercial hybrid quantum-classical application that simulates and optimizes movements of autonomous agriculture vehicles at scale for Verge Ag. After just four months of use, Verge Ag was able to calculate machine routes in one tenth of the time it took previously.
Optimizing Database Join Orders
Researchers at USC used D-Wave’s NL solver to improve how databases determine the most effective sequence for joining large sets of data. By integrating the hybrid solver into the query planning process, USC accelerated performance and increased the speed of the query execution by 13x.
