Welcome to D-Wave Systems
D-Wave is pioneering the development of a new class of high-performance computing system designed to solve complex search and optimization problems, with an initial emphasis on synthetic intelligence and machine learning applications.
D-Wave systems are architected around an innovative processor that uses a computational model known as adiabatic quantum computing (AQC). These processors exploit quantum effects to solve search and optimization problems in a new way. They are fabricated using superconducting metals instead of semiconductors and are operated at ultra-low temperatures in a magnetic vacuum.

AQUA@home
D-Wave's AQUA@home (Adiabatic QUantum Algorithms) is a research project whose
goal is to predict the performance of superconducting adiabatic quantum computers on
a variety of hard problems arising in fields ranging from materials science to machine
learning. AQUA@home uses Internet-connected computers to help design and
analyze quantum computing algorithms, using Quantum Monte Carlo techniques.
You can participate by running a free program on your computer.

D-Wave Web Services
This is an Alpha release of Orion Web Services designed to introduce users to our APIs and to solicit user feedback on the usability and functionality of the system.
Orion Web Services allow you to formulate and solve a wide range of optimization and decision problems that are amenable to solution with adiabatic quantum algorithms. Note that D-Wave's quantum processors will not be made available in this release. State of the art software solvers are included in this release, so you will be able to formulate and solve large-scale optimization and decision problems using Orion Web Services.
