    Paint Shop Optimization with Quantum Annealing

    In this talk we present a short overview of recent quantum applications in VW. Using the Quantum Shuttle project as motivation, we show how to construct live quantum optimization services for production applications. Specifically, we showcase a new application—the multi-car paint shop problem—and provide a live demo of this optimization system with real-world data.

    Designing Peptide Therapeutics on a Quantum Computer

    Peptides are mid-size molecules composed of amino acids and constitute some of nature's best drugs. Designing these mid-size molecules computationally remains a challenge due to the astronomical search space and complex energy dynamics. Here, we explore how quantum annealing and hybrid approaches may offer a new alternative toolkit for designing peptide therapeutics that could hold the key to groundbreaking new drugs.

    Quantum in Production: Optimizing E-Commerce Logistics

    The first commercial quantum applications in production are using D-Wave’s quantum technology. An “in-production” quantum application means that the business has gone through the quantum journey from use case exploration and identification, to validation, POC and pilot, all the way to deploying a real-world application that is delivering ROI-driving business outcomes. Read the case story to get a deep dive into one commercial quantum application in production using D-Wave.
